Wallper
Live video wallpapers for your Mac desktop
Mac$15 once
The verdict
Any 4K video can become a live wallpaper on your Mac with Wallper, and on macOS 26 it also works on the lock screen and screen saver. It comes with a gallery of community-made scenes that is refreshed daily, lets you set a different scene on each display, and pauses itself on battery or when an app goes fullscreen. It is a one-time purchase, not a subscription.
Get it if
You want your Mac desktop to move and are happy to pay once for it.
Skip it if
You are happy with the dynamic wallpapers that ship with macOS, which cost nothing.
What it helps you do
- Play a 4K video as your desktop wallpaper
- Use a different scene on each display
- Pause the wallpaper when on battery
- Add your own videos to the library
