About this app

Your Phone, Your Rules

- UNLEASH YOUR VIDEOS: Turn any video file on your phone into a high-performance live wallpaper. From epic gaming moments to your favorite anime loops, if you have it, you can background it.

- PER-VIDEO CONTROL: You're the director. Tap the sliders icon to customize every single video individually! Tweak the zoom, rotate, and reposition it to fit your screen perfectly. Adjust playback speed, fine-tune the brightness, set the exact volume level (no more simple on/off), and even force Status Bar icons (White/Black) so your clock and battery are always visible.

- INTERACTIVE PLAYLIST: Your recent files are now a full drag-and-drop playlist. Queue up multiple videos and use "Loop All" or "Shuffle" modes for smooth, highly optimized transitions between your favorite clips.

- SYSTEM COLORS MATCH YOUR VIDEO: Fully integrated with Material You. Your Android system colors will dynamically adapt to match the aesthetic of the video you set as your wallpaper.

- SMART START TIMES: Control how your wallpaper reacts when you unlock your phone. Resume where you left off, restart the video, or jump to a random frame.

- 100% FREE & HONEST: A true passion project. That means zero ads, zero in-app purchases, and absolutely no data harvesting. The full source code is on GitHub because transparency matters.

Ratings and reviews

A simple app that allows you to have a live wallpaper as your background. Enough ways to control the videos positioning as well. Also having a playlist is very nice. After trying so many free ad live wallpaper apps, having one that has ZERO ads is a amazing. This is the app that I have been waiting for a long time for! Tip: if your phone puts apps to sleep, I recommend that you tell it not to put this app to sleep. It will pause the wallpaper after a while. Otherwise no crashes.

works really great! was having trouble with the native wallpaper thingy but this works wonders for me, was really quick to apply (besides orientation, had to use guess work for that) edit: i made a mistake by saying orientation ig as i had it at the desired rotation and such but i had no clue on how the video would look like zoomed in to a part without hopping in and out of the selection view (how it'd look in the final version) but besides that, a great app if you want to use a vid directly

Easy, lightweight, ad-free. Didn't need a useless repository of AI slop wallpapers. I just wanted something that would work with looping videos that my favourite artists made. This is perfect.
