Allure — A Native Wallpaper Engine for macOS. Steam Workshop Imports Included.
No subscription plans. No Watermarks. Just one flat fee and the product is yours to use forever on 3 personal Macs. Your activations can be transferred between those Macs, with integrated Steam Workshop importing for your Wallpaper Engine collection through DepotDownloader.
Meet Allure— An application that makes your wallpapers yours. With simple controls for casual users, and deeper customization for power users !
Allure uses a native Metal-powered renderer to bring compatible Wallpaper Engine projects to macOS. She does not just create a video file and play it on the background. She supports Scene, Web, and Video wallpapers with relative ease. No more recording your old wallpapers !!
Allure’s quality speaks for herself, and you have 3 days to believe in her as much as I do !!
Allure is 5.99 for a lifetime license if you buy her from my website. With a soon-to-be Steam Release as well.
Wallpaper Engine was $5 and it gave Windows users everything they needed. Allure seeks to do the same thing and a little more. No subscriptions, no paying before you're sure you want it, and no premium tiers hiding the experience you downloaded Allure for. This app was made for end-users, by an end-user.
Here are some of my favorite features:
Native support for Scene, Web, and Video wallpapers !!
Themes !! By default there are 5 Beautiful Themes based on the Seasons, but users of Allure may be able to discover so many more if they dig a little deeper… (Even Trial users are not exempt !)
Metal-powered rendering that preserves resolution, layering, animation, and aspect ratio — It doesn’t just play a video file on your desktop.
Import through Steam QR sign-in, an existing Wallpaper Engine library, or local HTML, JSON, project, and video files
Tested with 114 real wallpapers across particles, shaders, Puppet Warp, SceneScripts, audio, water, lighting, and other complex effects — Tested across two MacBook Pro M4 Pro, one 16’’ and the other 14’’ !! Heavily Debugged, and still leaving room for improvement.
Custom wallpaper names, thumbnails, visual layers, playback settings, mouse parallax, positioning, filters, and soundtracks
Add a single custom song—or an entire folder of music—to any wallpaper
Favorites, search, playlists, automatic rotation, live previews, sorting, bulk deletion, and duplicate management
Private wallpapers and playlists protected with a passcode or Touch ID
Different wallpapers on multiple displays, with Retina-quality scaling
Menu-bar controls for changing, pausing, muting, capturing, and recording wallpapers
Performance presets, custom frame-rate limits, anti-aliasing, 4K upscaling, battery controls, and automatic Low Power Mode support — All under a clean UI.
Local-first privacy, with remembered Steam sessions protected by the macOS Keychain
Built for Apple-silicon Macs running macOS 14 or later
Some highly creator-specific effects or interactions may differ from Wallpaper Engine, but Allure checks compatibility during import and lets you know what is ready.
Allure was also developed on macOS 27 Golden Gate, so she will be ready for your setup on the release of that update !
What Allure does different:
Allure is Apple-notarized, and is also in process for a Steam release. No disabling Gatekeeper or changing your Mac's security settings required. Allure is not a generic Wallpaper Engine clone, she has identity. I am so confident in her ability to provide you with a good experience that I want nothing more from her potential users than 72 hours to give her a chance. Additionally, I have no desire to charge you much more than what her original inspiration, Wallpaper Engine, sought to charge its users. Only a dollar more. Allure is about personality and making your Mac device YOURS.
And if you do decide to purchase Allure, your license supports up to 3 MacBooks of your choosing. You are completely free to deactivate a license off of one Mac and add it to another.
Please meet her for yourself and see if she’s something worth your time.
