Introducing Wallspace: A Lightweight Wallpaper App for Mac

We built Wallspace because we wanted cinematic live wallpapers without the CPU hit. Here's the story behind the app.

Today we're launching Wallspace — a lightweight macOS app that brings cinematic live wallpapers to your desktop and lock screen, engineered for low CPU usage and long battery life.

Why we built this

We love live wallpapers. The problem? Every existing option on macOS either eats CPU for breakfast, requires an account, or bombards you with ads and upsells. We wanted something simpler: a native app that does one thing really well.

What you get

  • A curated library of HD live wallpapers across categories like Nature, Space, Anime, and more
  • Native Swift performance -- under 2% CPU usage
  • No login or account required
  • Support for custom MP4 wallpapers
  • Multi-display support out of the box

Completely free

Wallspace is free to download and use. Everything is included: unlimited downloads, 4K quality, lock screen support, and more. No subscriptions, no hidden fees.

What's next

We have a lot planned -- community wallpaper sharing, more categories, and deeper macOS integration. If you have ideas or feedback, join our Discord community.

Thanks for checking out Wallspace. We hope you enjoy it.
