Live Wallpaper
Live Wallpaper is a utility app that lets Mac users set animated videos and dynamic scenes as desktop wallpapers and lock screen backgrounds. The app supports custom MP4, MOV and other video formats, multi-display setups, and is designed to minimize CPU and battery drain while maintaining smooth motion. It appeals to users who want to personalise their workspace with cinematic or abstract moving backgrounds while keeping their Mac responsive.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe search results do not clearly establish the current status of the specific "Live Wallpaper" app (bundle ID com.SquidMelon.Live-Wallpaper). However, the live wallpaper category on macOS has seen significant active development: Wallspace, Backdrop, Reactive Wallpaper, and Wallper all advertise native Apple Silicon builds and recent updates as of 2025–2026. If your Live Wallpaper app is an older or Intel-only build, there is a crowded field of actively maintained native alternatives available. Contact the developer of the specific Live Wallpaper app to confirm whether a native Apple Silicon build has been released, or check the app's official website or GitHub repository for the latest version. If the developer has stopped updating it, switching to one of the newer native options (Wallspace, Backdrop, or Wallper) would ensure compatibility beyond the September 2028 Rosetta 2 deadline and give you access to current features like lock screen wallpaper support.
