Independent browser-native visualizer

Stims brings MilkDrop-style visuals to the browser.

Start with demo audio to see motion immediately. Open /milkdrop/ when you want mic or tab audio, bundled presets, quality controls, and live editing in one place.

Everything you need stays in one session.

Favorites, recent picks, and collection filters stay inside the session, so the preset browser feels like part of the instrument instead of a detour.

Lineage

Built in MilkDrop’s lineage, with its own identity.

Stims is an independent browser-native visualizer that credits Ryan Geiss’s MilkDrop while making clear that this is its own implementation.

What carries forward

  • Preset-driven feedback visuals and fast visual iteration.
  • Browser-native access to preset browsing, editing, import, and export.
  • Clear credit to MilkDrop, Winamp-era context, and preset authors.

What changed

  • The browser is the platform, so compatibility, permissions, and performance settings are explicit.
  • The homepage explains the product before you launch it.
  • /milkdrop/ is the dedicated place for audio setup, presets, and editing.
