They never run out
Each one is a shape, a palette, a dither and a seed. That is over a hundred thousand before you touch a single dial, and every one of them keeps moving. Shuffle until something stops you, then keep that one.
Still or moving
Freeze any single frame as your desktop picture, or let it keep drifting behind your icons at a speed you choose. Drop in a photo and it dithers that instead.
Stays on your Mac
A small handle sits on the edge of your screen: click it and the editor opens, no Dock icon, no window in the way. Sandboxed, no account, no analytics, and nothing about you leaves your Mac.
What is in the pot
- Shapes
- Flow, Mesh, Plasma, Ripple, Aurora, Cells, Topo, Whorl, Sonar, Mosh and Weave (see them all). Or your own photo.
- Dithers
- Smooth, Poster, Bayer 4 and 8, Noise, Halftone, Lines, Diamond, ASCII and Benday dots (what each one looks like). You set the pixel size and how many colours it gets to use.
- Colours
- Twelve palettes, or build your own from up to five colours. Point it at a photo and it pulls a palette out for you.
- Fresh bowl
- A new wallpaper every hour or every day, if you like being surprised. If you liked the last one better, Previous brings it back.
- Export
- Save any of them as a PNG: this display, 6K, iPhone, or a 2048 square.
Questions
Is it a subscription?
No. You pay once and it is yours, updates included.
Will an animated wallpaper drain my battery?
It is drawn by the GPU at a low frame rate, pauses when windows cover the desktop, and slows down again in Low Power Mode. A still wallpaper costs nothing once it is set.
Does it work with more than one display?
Yes. Every display gets the wallpaper at its own resolution, and plugging one in or out sorts itself.
Which Macs does it run on?
macOS 14 Sonoma or later, on Apple silicon and Intel.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. The download from this site is the full app, free for three days. No account, no card. If you want to keep it after that, a licence is one payment.
Direct download or Mac App Store?
Same app, same price. The direct download comes with a licence key and updates itself; the App Store version updates through the App Store.
Can I use the wallpapers somewhere else?
Yes. Export a PNG and it is yours to use anywhere, including commercially.
