Features

A live desktop that stays light. The lock screen, the library, and the controls live in one Mac app.

Requires macOS 15.0 or later

Made for Mac

The pieces that make a live wallpaper feel native.

Lock screen

Lock screen PRO

The same live wallpaper on your desktop and your lock screen.

Wallpaper categories: Nature, Cars, Anime, City, Lofi, Animals, Video Games, Cartoony and Space

Library

4K library

Most of the library is 4K, with widescreen and other sizes included. Tens of thousands of wallpapers to choose from.

Performance

Low CPU usage

Walltide stays under 2% CPU while 4K wallpapers play. Resource limits let you pull CPU and memory down further when you want the Mac quieter.

Power

On battery, Walltide can stop the live layer and keep a still, or lower the frame rate as the charge falls. Plugged in, it plays as usual.
