Quick start
- Download the free disk image for the latest version.
- Install: open it and drag WallpaperMachine to Applications.
- Open it. Releases after 1.8.2 are notarized by Apple and open right away.
1.8.2 and older aren't, so macOS holds their first launch: click Open Anyway
in System Settings → Privacy & Security, once.
Using Homebrew? One command does the first two steps:
brew install --cask wallpapermachine
A first-run guide takes it from there, and the app updates itself from then on.
The install guide walks through
every step with pictures.
- Works right away: the bundled video wallpaper Aurora Drift, pixiv illustrations,
your own videos and pictures, and browsing the whole Workshop without signing in.
- With a Steam account that owns Wallpaper Engine: Workshop downloads, and scene
wallpapers, which use shared resources from the Wallpaper Engine you own.
Rather build it yourself? It takes two commands: see
Open source. Free to build.
The app
One window with tabs across the top: your library (all wallpapers, favorites and your
collections), Steam Workshop and pixiv to browse, and Settings, with what is playing in a bar
along the bottom. The website has a demo of it on a
sample library, so you can
try it in your browser. Close the
window and the app keeps running in the menu bar, where you can pause, resume, mute
or go to the previous, next or a random wallpaper, on each display separately when you have more than one. When it launches at login, it starts there
without opening the window.
