Wallux is a small, independent project building live wallpapers for macOS — and the tools to run them well. This is who we are, why we started, and how we think about the thing on your screen all day.
It started with a small frustration: every Mac ships with a beautiful, static image — and then nothing ever moves. The most-looked-at surface on the whole machine just sits frozen behind your work.
So we built the thing we wanted — wallpapers that actually move, set up in seconds, that never get in the way of the work in front of them. No bloat, no ports from another platform, no battery anxiety.
“A wallpaper shouldn’t just decorate the desktop. It should make the machine feel like yours.”— The Wallux Principle
They shape every wallpaper we ship and every control we add.
Every wallpaper is tuned for smoothness first. If it stutters on the displays people actually use, it doesn't ship.
Intelligent per-monitor pausing stops motion the instant it's hidden. Your battery, GPU, and fans come before our pixels — typically 0.2% CPU.
No wrappers, no ports. Wallux lives in the menu bar and behaves like a native Mac app is supposed to.
The gallery grows from curated picks and creator submissions — and every artist gets credited for their work.
The Wallux app — a community wallpaper running across every display.
