I'm the maker of Walyro. I built it because I wanted my own videos
playing on my desktop without uploading them to a cloud or making another
account, and the app people always point to for this, Wallpaper Engine,
doesn't run on Mac.
So Walyro is the Mac app I wanted. You point it at your own MP4 or MOV
clips and they play as live wallpapers, up to 4K, with a different one on
each display. You can group clips into playlists that rotate on their
own, and control everything from the menu bar. The whole library stays on
your Mac. No cloud, no account.
It's native Swift and SwiftUI, so it stays light: playback pauses when
you go fullscreen and eases off on battery.
Free to download, with a one-time unlock for the full app. No
subscription.
I'd love your feedback, especially on which clips you end up using and
how it runs on your setup. Happy to answer questions in the thread.
