About

Hey, I'm Alex, an indie developer. I'm the founder of Walyro, a live wallpaper app for macOS. Play your own videos on the desktop, pick an animated scene, or turn a photo into a slow 3D scene. I build it alone.

Destroy Any Desktop - Your workday is the level. Bring a rocket launcher.

Your inbox. Your sprint board. That build that won't go green. Now it's all the level. Strap on a jetpack, grab a rocket launcher and shoot every letter off your screen. Rampage: 60 seconds to wreck everything. Deathmatch: you against bots in the ruins of your own apps. Save the black hole for last. Every match ends with a clip ready to post. Free on Mac. Pro unlocks every gun for $6.99, once.

Walyro - Your own videos as live wallpapers for Mac, fully local

Most Mac wallpaper apps hand you a gallery to browse. Walyro is built around your own footage instead. Drop in an MP4 or MOV clip and it plays as your desktop background, up to 4K, with a different one on each display. Preview a clip on a screen before you apply it, group clips into playlists that rotate on their own, and control everything from the menu bar or the Now Playing sidebar. It's native Swift and SwiftUI, so it stays light.
