LiveWallPaper — A native macOS app that sets local videos as live desktop wallpapers.

01 / Overview

A desktop. A little more alive.

Local videos become living wallpapers, in an app that feels right at home on the Mac.

I looked for live wallpapers on Mac but nothing felt right, so I built my own.

Automatically pauses behind other windows. Designed for expressive desktops and a lighter footprint.
