MuGen Wallpaper
What it is
MuGen Wallpaper is a dynamic wallpaper app for macOS desktops, supporting video and programmable web wallpapers. It works across multiple screens, and web wallpapers can receive system utilization and screen index information. Video speed and volume controls are included in both tiers. The app can pause video playback when all screens are in fullscreen mode and can launch on startup. Its maker says video playback uses Apple Silicon for efficient playback and low power consumption. Through the MuGen Wallpaper Community, users can download and share dynamic wallpapers; uploads are reviewed before publication. Web wallpapers can opt in to weather updates through OpenWeatherMap, which requires a user-provided API key and location access. Those wallpapers are restricted to local resources and cannot directly call external APIs. The privacy policy says the app does not collect personal information on-device beyond information Apple provides to developers; community registration collects an iCloud user identifier and associated Apple ID email. The maker says Sign in with Apple tokens and the weather API key are stored in Keychain. Free supports up to 10 dynamic wallpapers; the paid tier has no listed price and removes that limit.
