Desktop Defender is an idle auto-battler designed to run passively in a corner window while you work or play other games. Your units fight automatically without requiring active input, letting you accumulate progress and resources across sessions. It's ideal for players who want strategic depth without the time commitment of traditional games.

This game is very fun but there seems to be a watermark telling me to activate windows maybe graphical bug?
Thanks to Desktop Defender I was able to finally play and work at the same time. Unfortunately, my boss didn't like that, so now I just play full time. Still fun!
Hi everyone!About 2 weeks ago we announced that Desktop Defender's anniversary update would release on November 4th, and while the update is almost done, we have decided to delay it to November 23rd.Because the Anniversary Update has highly-technical additions such as mod support, Mac support, third party integrations like Discord rich presence, and more, we decided that it would really benefit the game to get an extra 2 weeks of testing to make sure that everything goes as smoothly as possible!The update will definitely be Desktop Defender's biggest ever, which is fitting for the game's 1 year anniversary ;)Thank you all for your patience, and I hope you enjoy the update when it releases soon!- Conrad, Lead Developer
