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.
