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/MOV/GIF imports, and a curated community catalog, all for a one-time $7.99.

Why MacWall instead of Lively on Mac

  • One-time $7.99, no subscription, lifetime updates
