Defrag and Chill

Watch old disk maps put themselves in order.

Defrag and Chill recreates two familiar disk utilities in the browser. Start, pause, and watch a simulated drive reorganize itself.

Live browser experience. Web browser.

Windows 95 by default. MS-DOS on demand.

The live experience opens with Windows 95 Disk Defragmenter. A URL switch loads the MS-DOS 6.22 DEFRAG profile instead.

Each version keeps its own controls, colors, and way of showing cluster movement. Both use sampled mechanical drive sounds.

The MS-DOS profile uses its own keyboard controls and display.

It moves simulated clusters, not your files.

Defrag and Chill runs a deterministic drive model in memory. Used clusters move into earlier gaps while bad and unmovable clusters stay fixed.

It never reads, writes, repairs, or analyzes a real drive.

This is an independent browser recreation, not an official Microsoft utility.

A running program, not a looping video.

Start, pause, resume, stop, change views, and listen to sampled mechanical drive sounds. Touch and keyboard controls keep both profiles usable beyond a desktop mouse.
