Best live wallpaper app on the market, love the playlist feature & switching with a double tap. This beats all the paid apps by a large margin, also love that it is open source!

Amazing app and the best app for live wallpapers on android. Your options are limitless because they're just videos, and it's customizable with absolutely no ads

BEST pair with the new Wallpaper Studio app. I combined several wallpapers I created into a video exceeding 30 seconds, and this app allows that to work perfectly. My home screen looks amazing. Thank you!

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.
- REAL-TIME LIVE PREVIEW: Tune your setup with instant visual feedback. Sliders for zoom, pan, and positioning reflect changes directly on the preview as you adjust them, with a hold-to-peek full-screen view to check your framing before applying.
- PER-VIDEO CONTROL: You're the director. Tap the sliders icon to customize every single video individually! Tweak zoom, rotate, and reposition it to fit your screen perfectly. Adjust playback speed, fine-tune brightness, set volume levels, and change Status Bar icon colors (White/Black) so your clock and battery are always visible.
- UNRESTRICTED PLAYLISTS: No artificial limits. Queue up limitless videos in full drag-and-drop playlists. Smart grouping and optimized transitions keep playback seamless across "Loop All" or "Shuffle" modes.
- 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 playback 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 dynamically adapt to match the color palette of the active video 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, zero background tracking, and completely offline. Full source code is on GitHub because transparency matters.
A Note From The Developer:
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.
