Design your own living wallpapers
Every wallpaper here is a few kilobytes of parameters, not a video file, drawn live by your GPU. So this isn't a wallpaper pack. It's a studio: start from any of 26 shaders and make it yours, from colors to motion to framing. Spin the wheel to try one right here, running the same code the app uses on your devices. The lower ring restyles your own photos.
Live when you want it.
Still when you don't.
Run any shader as a live wallpaper or freeze it to a pixel-identical still. On battery or behind fullscreen apps it freezes automatically, then resumes from the exact same frame.
Rendering in real time, right now.
Same shader, frozen mid-frame.
A studio for your wallpapers
Wallshader lives in your Mac's menu bar: switch wallpapers, pause animations, or import a file without opening a window. And when you want to create, the Studio is one click away.
The whole Studio, on iPhone and iPad too
Every shader, every control, every detail — the full Studio comes with you, exactly as it is on your Mac.
