Launch Team
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I’m Dmytro, co-founder of Wallper.
I’ve always loved how polished macOS feels, but putting a static wallpaper on top of such a fluid system started to feel… off. The UI is alive, the animations are smooth, but the background is frozen.
I tried existing “live wallpaper” apps, but they mostly felt like an overlay, a heavy layer sitting on top of macOS rather than being part of it. With Wallper, we obsessed over one goal: make it look and feel 100% native.
Today’s launch is a huge step forward:
🎬 Native Live Wallpapers: Seamless playback on both Desktop and Lock Screen.
🔧 Performance First: Reworked playback logic so animations feel smoother and lighter on your Mac
🖼️ Expanded Library: Expanded curated library of scenes, plus support for your own videos
🖥️ Multi-Display Support: Improved multi-display behavior so each screen can have its own look
🛠️ Refined Experience: Countless polish fixes to ensure reliability.
You can try Wallper for free right now. Pick a scene, use your Mac for a bit, and see if you can ever go back to a static image.
P.S. Since it’s Black Friday season, we’re offering 50% off the lifetime license for a limited time!
I’ll be hanging out in the comments all day. I’d love to hear your thoughts and what features you want to see next!
@dim_kat I’ve been using Wallper since the very first release and I’m more than happy with it, it keeps getting better with every update! 🔥
@kkyshko Glad you like it! More coming soon :)

Gave Wallper a try today and it’s working surprisingly well on my setup.
One thing I’m curious about, does it handle big video files differently or does everything run the same regardless of wallpaper size?
@xanderiang Thank you! We’ve optimized things as much as possible, but yeah, really huge video files can be a bit heavier for the system compared to smaller ones.
Most normal-sized wallpapers run the same, though.

I really like it, feels smooth and very native I would say. Going to play around with it more.
Where do the wallpapers come from, and does the library keep growing over time?
@valeriiavramenko Thanks a lot, happy you like it!
Most of the wallpapers come from a mix of partner libraries and our community uploads.
The library keeps growing every day (roughly ~50 new ones daily right now), and we still manually check every video before publishing it in the app.

How does it impact CPU/RAM usage and battery life if you just let it run in the background all day?
@userio_neimio It’s optimized pretty well for what it does. We even added a small usage monitor in the menu bar so you can see CPU/RAM in real time.
Wallpapers pause automatically when something is fullscreen, and there’s also a setting to pause them when you’re on battery.
So even if it’s running in the background all day, the impact stays pretty minimal.
