Lively Wallpaper for Mac

Lively Wallpaper is Windows-only. MacWall is the native macOS equivalent: live video wallpapers with hardware decode and menu bar controls.

Searching for Lively Wallpaper on Mac? Lively is a popular live wallpaper app, but it's Windows-only and has no macOS version. MacWall is the closest native equivalent: desktop video wallpapers, your own MP4 and MOV imports, and a hand-picked community catalog, all for $7.99, paid once.
