About this app

**MotionWall: Your Wallpaper, in Motion.**

Bring your home screen and lock screen to life with MotionWall. Whether it’s a breathtaking travel memory, a cinematic loop, or a favorite video clip, MotionWall makes it easy to set any video from your device as a fully customized live wallpaper.

Unlike traditional live wallpaper apps that are often bloated, drain your battery, or require constant internet access, MotionWall is built with a "performance-first" philosophy. It’s lean, private, and designed to enhance your Android experience without getting in the way.

### **Why Choose MotionWall?**

🎬 **Any Video, Any Time**
Don’t settle for pre-made wallpapers. You are the creator. Browse your gallery and select any video you’ve recorded or downloaded. MotionWall handles the heavy lifting, converting it into a smooth, high-performance live wallpaper in seconds.

🔋 **Smart Battery Management**
Battery life is our top priority. MotionWall is as efficient as a static image when you aren’t looking at it. Playback automatically pauses when:
- Your screen is turned off.
- You open another app or the notification shade.
- Battery Saver mode is active.
- You are viewing the ambient charging display.
This ensures your phone stays charged while looking stunning.

🛠️ **Deep Customization**
Fine-tune every aspect of your video wallpaper:
- **Scale Modes:** Choose between Fit, Fill, or Crop for the perfect framing.
- **Playback Speed:** Slow down a scene for a zen-like vibe or speed it up to add energy.
- **Dim Overlay:** Apply a dark tint to ensure your app icons and widgets remain perfectly legible even over bright videos.
- **Audio Control:** Keep the sound or mute it for a silent, cinematic look.

🔒 **Privacy-First**
Your videos are personal. MotionWall works entirely on-device. We don't have servers, we don't require accounts, and we never upload your files to the cloud. Your data stays where it belongs: on your phone.

🚀 **Performance Optimization**
Take control of your hardware:
- **Max Resolution:** Limit playback to 720p or 1080p to save power, or go Native for maximum crispness.
- **Frame Rate Cap:** Choose 30 FPS, 60 FPS, or Uncapped playback for the best balance between smoothness and efficiency.

Ratings and reviews

MotionWall allows you to slap your own saved videos onto your device, both on the homescreen as well as the lockscreen. Instead of static images, your device now shows moving images in the background at all times. Works w/ longer videos. A family holiday video, 👌; or that sweet short clip of the Avengers, or Saitama with his famous punch, done. App & videos run smoothly, all the time, even on a mid-range/budget phone. Great dev 👍, listens to feedback. Must-have app, highly recommended.

Currently the best tool to set video as wallpaper. Works well. No annoyances. No ads. No pay to unlock features. I bought the devs a coffee (small donation) to support them. Support good developers. Cheers!

Does exactly what it says and with a modern UI. Just needs better tablet support. Switching between orientations is buggy.
