Backdrop▲170
Hi HN, I'm Oskar, a solo indie Mac developer from Sweden. For those in the Mac community, you might know me from my other apps like Sensei and Trim Enabler.

Wallper▲26
Hi everyone! I’ve recently launched Wallper, a small project I built because I couldn’t find a lightweight, native-feeling app to apply real 4K video wallpapers on macOS.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, ideas, or feedback - still very early, but already live and free to try!
