Tissue By Tissue Screensaver
The Tissue By Tissue screensaver shows sample counts per human tissue from the GTEx project, key-less. GTEx exists because the same genome reads out differently in liver than in cortex, and measuring that needed donated tissue from many bodies — so the uneven bars are the practical shape of that effort rather than a biological fact. It's free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
How the Tissue By Tissue screensaver works
The saver reads the source described above and draws it on a canvas — no account, no tracking.

It refreshes on a schedule, so what you see stays current.
Colours can be changed in settings; nothing is stored beyond your own browser.
