Finally! A reason to lock your Mac on purpose. Wake your Mac to a living, breathing wallpaper that slows down as you unlock โ€” exactly like Apple's own, but cooler.

The first and only app using Apple's native Aerial format.

What people are saying

From r/macapps, and from people who wrote in

"Finally! I love the slow-mo aerials in macOS, but being stuck with only a few nature scenes felt so restrictive. gifPaper solves a problem I didn't think had a solution yet."

"How do I install this on Windows, son? And can you please fix the printer?"
u/randommacsnmusic
"You've done it so well: music or not, motion or not, keyboard arrows switch to the next screen. This puts all the others to shame. Purchased!"
u/phobox360
"Exactly what I've been looking for. I stayed away from other apps because they don't use Apple's native capabilities and just overlay videos. Having tried yours, it's fantastic."
u/bog3nator
"I have tried others posted here. This is by far the lightest weight and fastest. Great work."
u/d3a6man
"The visuals are breathtaking. Makes you excited to open the laptop."

Does it work on my Mac?
gifPaper requires macOS 26 (Tahoe). To check your version:  โ†’ About This Mac.
How does the free trial work?
You get 7 days to try everything โ€” all 300+ wallpapers, all features. No credit card required. After 7 days, purchase to keep using.
Can I add my own videos?
Not yet! I'm working on it. For now, enjoy the handcrafted collection.
Why isn't it on the Mac App Store?
Apple being Apple, App Store apps can't set live wallpapers (sandboxing). Apps outside the store can โ€” so that's what I do. Your Mac, your wallpaper.

The app is notarized, which means Apple verified it's safe.
What's the best thing about Switzerland?
I don't know, but the flag is a big plus.
