Hey Product Hunt πŸ‘‹ I'm Veysel, the maker of MOODy. Quick story on why I built this. A few months ago I caught myself staring at the same wallpaper I'd set on my Mac two years ago. My phone reacts to everything β€” focus mode, sunset, my workouts β€” but my desktop, where I spend 10 hours a day, just sat there. Frozen. MOODy is my answer. Six smart modes that make your wallpaper actually *react* to your life: 🎡 Music Sync β€” your wallpaper matches what's playing on Spotify or Apple Music. lo-fi β†’ rainy window. jazz β†’ vinyl bar. (this is the one that hooked my beta testers) β˜” Weather β€” real weather outside, real weather on your desktop 🎯 Focus β€” auto-switches with macOS Focus modes πŸ• Time of day β€” sunrise to night, your desktop evolves with daylight 🎨 Mood β€” pick from 10 vibes (Calm, Focus, Cozy, Dramatic…) πŸ–₯ System β€” wallpaper reflects CPU/RAM load (a little nerdy easter egg) Built solo. SwiftUI, WeatherKit, integrates with Spotify and Apple Music metadata. 4K wallpapers, multi-monitor, multi-Space. macOS 14.6+. Free to try β€” full wallpaper catalog and manual mode are free forever. Premium unlocks the six smart modes (monthly or annual, 7-day trial, no card needed). I'll be here all day answering anything β€” tech, design choices, why I picked Sonoma as the minimum, what's broken (there's always something). Three asks: 1. Which mode would make YOU install this? 2. If you try it, what's confusing in the first 60 seconds? 3. Brutal feedback > polite upvotes πŸ™ Thanks for spending a minute on this with me 🩡

Really cooly looking ;) . I can definitely see a lot of people that would enjoy this. Honestly it looks really nice i think you really need some better pics to showcase it, on the app store the pics are very blurry. For such a image related and actually nice working thing you should showcase the awesome images it actually produces. Good luck!

@andrewb23Β Thank you, this honestly made my day πŸ™ And you're 100% right about the App Store screenshots. I shipped with placeholder shots just to get the app live. a wallpaper app should be the last one with blurry previews. New screenshots are top of my list this month. If you have a favorite mode after trying it, I'd love to know which one that'll probably end up being the hero shot. Thanks again, genuinely.

hey i loved this idea but when I tried it I kept getting a 401 error. i would really love to use the app could you help me figure out what’s going wrong?

Veysel Bozkurt

@kedar_deshmukhΒ Hey, thank you for taking the time to try it and report this back. Genuinely means a lot πŸ™

That 401 is something I want to fix fast. Could you shoot me an email at veyysellbozkrt@gmail.com with:

- A screenshot of the error (or the screen where it appeared)

- Your macOS version

- Which screen or action triggered it (opening the app, browsing categories, weather mode, etc.)

Soon as it lands I'll dig into logs and get back to you the same day. Really want to make this work for you.

Love the concept β€” the detail of reacting to both music AND weather together is unexpected. Does it use local weather or does it need a location permission?

Veysel Bozkurt

@rich_nashawaty Thank you for your opinion! Real local weather macOS CoreLocation for coordinates, Open-Meteo for the data (free API, no tracking on their end). One time "while using" permission prompt the

first time you turn on Weather Mode. Location is required for the mode to work.

The macOS prompt itself was a small hell to get righ. Info.plist key on Mac is NSLocationUsageDescription, not the iOS variants. Burned a day on that. Indie dev tax πŸ˜…

Rich Nashawaty

@veysel_bozkurtΒ Ha, the indie dev tax is real πŸ˜„ Good to know it uses CoreLocation + Open-Meteo β€” solid choices. The one-time permission prompt is a clean approach too. Congrats on shipping it!

Veysel Bozkurt

@rich_nashawatyΒ yes it is πŸ˜ƒ. Thanks for the support! πŸ™
