SlateKit isn't a video wallpaper player, it's a real time generative desktop built in Metal. Every wallpaper is customizable with live controls. It can automatically change looks throughout the day, spans multiple displays seamlessly, and is optimized to minimize battery and CPU usage by adapting to power state, screen visibility, and system settings.
Spent a few minutes with it on my MacBook and the live controls are genuinely fun to tweak. Battery stayed put even after a solid chunk of playback, which is more than I can say for most wallpaper apps I've tried.
Finally tried this on my m1 macbook and honestly the battery situation is way better than i expected. live controls are a nice touch too, basically feels like a proper generative desktop instead of just looping clips
Finally a wallpaper app that doesn't just loop a video. The Metal rendering is smooth and the live controls let me tweak shaders without it stuttering, even on battery.
The Metal-based approach is such a smart move for something like this, the live controls feel instant instead of the laggy settings panels you usually get with wallpaper apps.
