Your desktop,
alive.
Turn any website, video, image, or WebGL shader into your live Windows wallpaper. Browse the web for one, or pick from a built-in catalog.
Five kinds of wallpaper, one app.
Any live URL, running as your wallpaper.
Loop .mp4 / .webm behind your icons.
Stills in crisp full resolution.
GPU shaders that react to your audio.
Bring your own interactive scenes.
Browse the web. Click. It's your wallpaper.
A real browser lives inside WebDesk. Open Moewalls, Unsplash, X, anywhere — then set the video, the image, or the whole live page as your wallpaper. No downloads, no scraping.
A built-in catalog, plus the web's wallpaper sites.
Browse a community catalog that updates without a new release, and search Wallhaven right inside the app. Star what you like and save it to your library.
Wallpapers that move to your music.
Run GPU WebGL shaders as your wallpaper, with uniforms driven live by your system audio. Bass, mids, and treble feed the visuals in real time.
Every screen its own scene. Rotate on a timer.
Give each monitor a different wallpaper, or build a playlist that shuffles on an interval. Global hotkeys skip, pause, and mute without leaving your game.
Everything you'd pay for. Plus things you can't buy. Free.
