MagicWall 0.1.0
MagicWall 0.1.0 — first public release
A native SwiftUI app that turns your local videos into animated macOS
wallpapers. Everything stays on your Mac: no accounts, no telemetry, no network
traffic.
Highlights
- Local library — drag & drop import of files and folders, automatically
generated posters, categories, favorites, search and rename. - Fullscreen preview with quick actions, apply to every screen or to a
single display (multi-monitor). - Desktop-level engine — one window behind the Finder icons per screen,
gapless looping (AVPlayerLooper), assignments restored on every launch. - Power policy — automatic pausing on battery, Low Power Mode, thermal
pressure, screen lock or occluded desktop, with recovery after sleep/wake. - Menu bar — pause, shuffle, favorites and stop without opening the window.
- Themes — editable design tokens (colors, corner radii, gradients) plus
light/dark appearance. - English and Italian — the UI follows the system language.
- Window lifecycle — closing the window does not stop the wallpaper: reopen
it from the Dock icon or the menu bar.

format may change. - The login item requires macOS 13+ and may need manual approval in
