Description
Your Phone, Your Rules.
- UNLEASH YOUR VIDEOS: Turn any video file on your phone into a high-performance live wallpaper. From epic gaming moments to your favorite anime loops, if you have it, you can background it.
- PER-VIDEO CONTROL: You're the director. Tap the sliders icon to customize every single video individually! Tweak the zoom, rotate, and reposition it to fit your screen perfectly. Adjust playback speed, fine-tune the brightness, set the exact volume level (no more simple on/off), and even force Status Bar icons (White/Black) so your clock and battery are always visible.
- INTERACTIVE PLAYLIST: Your recent files are now a full drag-and-drop playlist. Queue up multiple videos and use "Loop All" or "Shuffle" modes for smooth, highly optimized transitions between your favorite clips.
- HOME SCREEN GESTURES: Control the action without opening the app. Bind double-tap or triple-tap gestures directly on your home screen to instantly play/pause the video or skip to the next clip in your playlist.
- DYNAMIC PARALLAX: Give your home screen real depth. The custom OpenGL engine intercepts your launcher's swipe events, smoothly shifting your video's perspective as you scroll through your pages—without tanking your frame rate or eating your battery.
- SYSTEM COLORS MATCH YOUR VIDEO: Fully integrated with Material You. Your Android system colors will dynamically adapt to match the aesthetic of the video you set as your wallpaper.
- SMART START TIMES: Control how your wallpaper reacts when you unlock your phone. Resume where you left off, restart the video, or jump to a random frame.
- 100% FREE & HONEST: A true passion project. That means zero ads, zero in-app purchases, and absolutely no data harvesting. The full source code is on GitHub because transparency matters.
A Note From The Creator: This app is personal. It marks a comeback after a long hiatus from coding... a passion clawing its way back to the surface. It's undead because some things are just too stubborn to die. This app was built by an enthusiast, for enthusiasts. Enjoy the freedom.

This is the best video wallpaper app bar none! Smooth performance, clean interface, multiple video support. I was exactly looking for a polished app like this. Thank you so much!
★★★★★Yuriy Orlov· Feb 12, 2026
Simple, free, no ads, works well. If only the wallpaper could also scroll left and right when switching screens.
★★★★★David Reuben· Mar 22, 2026
A simple app that allows you to have a live wallpaper as your background. Enough ways to control the videos positioning as well. Also having a playlist is very nice. After trying so many free ad live wallpaper apps, having one that has ZERO ads is an amazing. This is the app that I have been waiting for a long time for! Tip: if your phone puts apps to sleep, I recommend that you tell it not to put this app to sleep. It will pause the wallpaper after a while. Otherwise, no crashes.
