Narwall — Your Mac Wallpaper Isn't a Video. It's Alive.
Your Mac wallpaper is probably just a static picture, or maybe it's one of Apple's slow pans across a mountain. Either way, it doesn't feel alive!
If you've shopped around you might have noticed most wallpaper apps are just looping MP4s sold as "live wallpapers". Anyone who's used Wallpaper Engine on windows knows what truly interactive and live wallpapers could be. Nothing built for Mac has seriously captured that feeling for me.
So I built Narwall to fix that.
Narwall is a wallpaper engine for macOS, but, unlike every other wallpaper app for Mac, Narwall wallpapers aren't just looping videos, they're rendered, interactive and customizable.
Narwall runs on Metal, Apple's GPU framework, so it's not an Electron wrapper burning through your battery. It pauses automatically if your desktop is not visible, or if you switch to battery power. Your Mac stays cool and your fans stay quiet.
Video loops, shaders, particle systems, and interactive scenes are all supported. There's also a built-in scene editor so you can build your own wallpapers or tweak existing ones.
$7, one-time purchase. No subscription. No account required. Just a wallpaper engine that respects your Mac and your wallet.
