Walyro

Your own videos as live wallpapers for Mac, fully local

What it does

Most Mac wallpaper apps hand you a gallery to browse. Walyro is built around your own footage instead. Drop in an MP4 or MOV clip and it plays as your desktop background, up to 4K, with a different one on each display. Preview a clip on a screen before you apply it, group clips into playlists that rotate on their own, and control everything from the menu bar or the Now Playing sidebar. It's native Swift and SwiftUI, so it stays light.

Walyro is a video wallpaper app for Mac. Set your own clips as live wallpapers, with per-display control, offline playlists, and menu bar controls.

Start with built-in videos or your own clips, and keep your desktop personal without the clutter. Check how a clip feels behind windows, choose Fit, Fill, or Crop, and target all displays, the main display, or a specific screen. Set a different video wallpaper on each monitor, or mirror the same scene across all displays. Keep your main display minimal and set a calm loop on your second screen. Your choice. Pause motion when you need focus. Navigate, shuffle, and control all from your menu bar and Now Playing panel. One click to pause, play, or switch videos. Group your videos into Playlists that shuffle, repeat, and loop automatically instead of behaving like plain folders. Everything…from walyro.com

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
