Description

Muzei is a live wallpaper that gently refreshes your home screen each day with famous works of art. It also recedes into the background, blurring and dimming artwork to keep your icons and widgets in the spotlight. Simply double touch the wallpaper or open the Muzei app to enjoy and explore the artwork in its full glory.

Alternatively, you can choose your favorite photos from your own gallery or other apps to use on your home screen. To keep your wallpaper fresh, Muzei will rotate through your favorite photos every few hours.

Finally, Muzei is developer-friendly. All the code is available at http://code.muzei.co and Muzei even offers a simple API that allows you to build your own wallpaper source. For API details, visit http://api.muzei.co.

·····

Muzei now includes a watch face for Android Wear, so you can see your latest wallpaper right on your wrist!

·····

Made in New York by Roman Nurik. Muzei is a transliteration of the Russian word музей, which means “museum.”

Featured artwork in Muzei is curated daily by our small staff and made possible thanks to WikiArt.org and its contributors.

Many thanks to Ian Lake for the watch face, and the many other contributors that help make Muzei possible.

Stopped working on Xiaomi Mi5 after the last update. Every hour or so the wallpaper displays black, and it only resets to normal upon restarting the phone :( please find a solution, this app is wonderful!

Justin Cross

Still doesn't update the wallpaper and when I click next manually it doesn't work. How is this not fixed yet? I will change back to 5 stars once it's finally fixed.

Vicente Solsona

It gets stuck with the same picture for days. Please fix it

Jeffrey Shumway

Still my favorite wallpaper!

Greatest wallpaper app ever!!

Rocki G June 5, 2017

Don't be deceived. This app has limited settings. The sources setting is utterly pointless and only links to the apps website where you cannot add sources. It claims to add a new image every day, but it only does this for a short period, then it grinds to a halt and you end up being stuck with the same image. Don't waste your time.

Hector July 5, 2017

As others have pointed out, the wallpapers have a tendency to get stuck. In my experience, if the phone is not connected to the Internet at a certain hour (during the night), then the app fails to download the daily picture. This shouldn't be, the app should detect when it has failed to download a picture and try to download again once it gets connected to the Internet at a later time until it manages to successfully download the image of the day.

Joe Piston June 25, 2017

Doesn't work most of the time. It's on my list to not hibernate. Even if I go into the app directly and select locally stored images and use the "next" button - nothing changing changes. Occasionally it will work and I have no idea why. I had to uninstall as I'd rather have expectation of static wallpaper than be disappointed constantly by one that's supposed to change and doesn't.

Bornstellar Makes Desired Future July 15, 2017

I don't understand how after all this time the only option is still "random" when it comes to selecting images. Seeing the same 2 images repeated 3 or 4 times is something that happens regularly. Kind of sucks because the app itself works fine. If you could only add that one option...

Yechiam Weiss June 8, 2017

Best update ever! Finally next artwork widget! Edit: I just looked at the app size and ask myself how could this app be more than 1gb?! That's pretty much absurd don't you think? Please try to trim down the size in the next update and I'll return to 5 stars :)

Rudy Leonard June 26, 2017

Wallpapers stop rotating automatically after a couple of days and will only start again after clearing the cache. I love the app but this is annoying. Update: Uninstalled the app completely. Too much hassle trying to get it to automatically load new images each day like it should. Will check back later to see if this is addressed with a future update.

Keith Mason June 27, 2017

This used to be great but a recent update means that it no longer works. My screen is filled with white noise now when I'm using Muzei and have no way to address this. I can't use my phone when using Muzei. Until this is sorted I've had to lower my review.

Joel C June 4, 2017

Fixed problems with stuck wallpaper. Both the app and any plug ins for the app that you use need to be placed in the hibernation ignored list on android. Otherwise this app is exactly what I was looking for with updated wallpaper.

Soffian Zainal June 21, 2017

I'm uninstalling this app because this app failed to change background after a few cycle. Unless the developer fix this issue, I would not recommend this app.

David Mallon May 9, 2017

Great app with great artwork. My only issue is recently it has not updated /changed the artwork each day. It seems to be stuck on the same painting which defeats the appeal of the app. Really enjoy the app aside from this bug

John James May 31, 2017

Really like the app when it works but like so many others I find that I am unable to change to the next wallpaper either automatically or manually. I have the reddit extension for amoledbackgrounds and they have some terrific wallpapers but I've been stuck on Yondu and Groot for the last two days. Tried every way to get it to change, tried next artwork gesture in Nova, tried clearing the cache, tried everything except uninstalling and reinstalling and to be honest if I have to uninstall it to get it to work then I probably won't reinstall it. I guess I'll either see if the next update fixes it or uninstall it when I get sick of looking at Yondu and Groot. We'll see which happens first :)

I liked the app. It makes every wallpaper look good. Before using Muzei, I hated bright coloured wallpapers since it will make my translucent widget with white fonts go disappear, which is merging with the wallpaper's colour. But there are a few problems such as The next artwork button doesn't work well with wallpapers from Backdrops. And I really hope that the development team for Muzei are able to add one more function in the advanced tab which is toggle blur instead of the muzei automatically blur after a few seconds or so. Hopefully the development team for Muzei are able to add the function and fix the problem I mentioned earlier.

Dwem Gieger June 14, 2017

No longer works. Stuck on a single wallpaper even after reinstalling. Broken for me now for months. Don't waste your time.

Lucas Alomerovic May 14, 2017

Amazing! It's one of my favorites android apps, but think this could be improved. I looked for an way to send you a feedback about it, but I didn't find it. So, is that possible to add the function to fav the wallpapers that you most liked, so they could be saved on the internal storage, allowing us to set the art as wallpaper whenever we want? I appreciate your initiative!

Alex Boutilier May 8, 2017

I love this app and thank you very much for fixing the bug with upgrading to Android 7.0. I have a question though, i tried setting my wallpaper to something else then back to muzei and i was able to get the wallpaper set to muzei but not the lock screen. Any idea how to do this on 7.0? Thanks

Chinedu Zadok June 22, 2017

I'm having a frustrating time getting this app to load new wallpapers each day. Every new day I only see the wallpaper I used previously. Now all I see is a black screen. I'm seconds from uninstalling the app.

Joel Campbell May 9, 2017

And I love this app. The best. UPDATE: years later and this is still the best wallpaper app. Don't hesitate I would get it now if you're reading. Thanks so much to the Developers for keeping it awesome.

Chris Metcalfe July 10, 2017

It could be so good but it's really hard to use and relies heavily on plugins. Ie it has no built in automatic image change and no multiple source selector.

Jonathan Goodger May 15, 2017

Love the idea but for some reason the image goes blurry after a few seconds so the app is useless. Fix that and it'll be my background permanently.

Lukas Golino May 28, 2017

Still not working. Pressing next does not change the wallpaper. Using Reddit extension and android 7. In fact does not work with any extension

Roman Nurik February 9, 2017

Please try it again with the newly released Muzei 2.3! We've made a large number of stability improvements.

Muhammad Hassan May 26, 2017

Its good when it works but always stops refreshing after a couple of days. Reinstalled and same thing happens.

Kyle Griffin May 13, 2017

Ever since I upgraded to Android nougat 7.0, it crashes every time I try to save the settings. Please resolve this bug!

Brandon Thomas May 20, 2017

The only thing I would do is let the pictures scroll, or make it smaller so you can see the whole picture.

Seif Mostafa June 14, 2017

Is "The Pier for Frits " the end of me? I checked archive, found new & updates never get it ! Long time ago this pretty is my background.tried clean cache, data , reinstall, play with settings but no new !

Simon Kaye May 24, 2017

Background pictures are blurry, I don't see the point in this.

Uroš Zečević May 18, 2017

The app runs nicely for a couple of days until it sets a "partial" wallpaper with only a small strip of the original painting at the top of the screen and the rest of the wallpaper being black. Clearing data helps.

Michael Cioffi May 12, 2017

Great photos, but it often "forgets" my wallpaper and I will need to open the app manually and go through the steps of selecting my wallpaper again.

Hargeet Brar July 20, 2017

It stops changing wallpapers automatically after few days.

Banitpal Singh June 21, 2017

Everything ok. Bt the blurring system of wallpaper is not good. Change it please

Talha Muhammad June 16, 2017

Sometimes it turns off and my wallpaper changes to the default android one..

Michael Heiser May 4, 2017

Really one of the best out there. Great functionality and customization. However the ability to double tap the home screen to momentarily unblur seems to have been lost.
