liwall
A macOS app for creating a living desktop with SHHAN’s artwork and your own photos and videos
Summary
Your Library
Collect travel photos, everyday memories and favorite videos in your personal library. Keep the originals intact, choose fill or fit, and find scenes with favorites and search.
Select video start and end frames, then blend the end into the beginning for a smooth loop. Save the wallpaper, effects, clock and text together as a preset to recall the same composition.
The Official liwall Gallery
The official gallery begins with SHHAN’s work and opens toward a wider range of artists. Each work carries its title and artist credit, with included works distinguished from optional purchases.
Included works: Victoria Harbour: In Motion (2022), Fill the Broken Piano with Water (2025), and Nullwood: A Mirror Forest (2025). Prepare them at no extra charge for offline use. Indifference and Echo are optional in-app purchases; Adrift is a free official work first available in the 1.1.1 test version.
Composing and Using Your Desktop
Compose a scene with rain, snow, dust, light and water effects, plus a clock, date or text. On photos with a recognized subject, place the clock or text behind it; depth varies with the photo and placement.
The wallpaper keeps playing when the library window closes and can be reopened from the menu bar. Playback rests during screen lock, display sleep and full-screen apps.
For macOS 14 or later. A one-time app purchase, without an account, ads or a subscription. Personal photos, videos and settings stay locally on the Mac.
