Muzei Live Wallpaper

Ian Lake

About this app

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.

If you use a third party Legacy Source, you must disable Battery Optimizations on that app to allow it to continue to load artwork. See https://medium.com/muzei/muzei-3-0-and-legacy-sources-8261979e2264 for more details.

Ratings and reviews

Uninstalling because you don't seem to have any control of the positioning of the photo? essentially rendering this app useless for me and I'm sure several other people. even if you crop the image to fit your screen perfectly, the app still displays it off center. seems like a huge oversight, a wallpaper app that doesn't let me adjust position?

Great app but it lacks some functionality that I would really love to see in it: - Adjust the part of the photo you want to be on your wallpaper. Their support says after you close their app, your wallpaper is controlled by your launcher. Fair, but can't you cut the photo inside your app and apply it to the wallpaper? I don't think it's something extraordinarily difficult. Oh and the wallpaper is changed at some random time of the day - you can't really set at what time.

The app is awesome when it works. A few times while using this app for just over a year or so as my main wallpaper method. The app just dies and can not be opened for a few days up to a week, and then it goes back to working again. I'm not sure what is causing it to happen, but uninstalling and reinstalling doesn't fix it and only waiting til it magically starts working again is what works...frustrating for sure *Edit sent an email to dev, hoping to help with the issue
