Social proof

Trusted on the Mac App Store.

Shipped in the Music category, built for privacy, priced for individuals. Pricing may vary by region.

Built for music

Everything you'd want from Music Wall.

Live Sync

Reads the current track and pulls the album art the instant you skip or queue something new.

Art Styles

Original, frosted glass, impressionist, gradient mesh, neon glow, duotone — pick a vibe or let it adapt.

Live Wallpaper

Subtle motion that reacts to playback — center zoom, color shift, or radial pulse rings. Static mode too.

Shortcuts & Intents

First-class App Intents. Refresh wallpaper, toggle Live mode, automate from Shortcuts or Stream Deck.

Vinyl & Glass Widgets

Drop a spinning vinyl on the desktop or a minimal Now Playing glass card. They live behind your windows.

Smart Restore

When the music stops, your original wallpaper comes back — including your lock screen.

Smart Automation

Battery-aware. On battery or Low Power Mode it eases off resolution and motion to save your laptop.

Lock Screen

Optionally mirrors the album art to your macOS lock screen so the vibe carries over when you step away.
