Org-mode agenda wallpaper

Turn org-mode agenda into a desktop calendar and wallpaper

Problem
A user switched to nvim-orgmode and became more productive, but wished org agendas could be visualized like Apple Calendar, especially monthly. Org files are local plain text, yet agenda visualization remains weak.
Solution
A lightweight desktop tool that reads local org files and renders agenda as monthly or weekly wallpaper, or a macOS menu bar widget. It does not replace org-mode, just fills the visualization gap.
Users
Heavy org-mode users, developers managing schedules in nvim or Emacs, local plain-text geeks
MVP
Parse .org schedules and TODOs; generate a monthly wallpaper with periodic refresh; support macOS/Windows desktop widgets; click an item to open its org file
Revenue
One-time purchase desktop app, or subscription for wallpaper and multi-device sync; open-source parser with paid UI
Why now
Org-mode has a stable, high-willingness user base but long lacked visualization; desktop wallpaper and widget development is cheap
