Your library, front and centre. Every wallpaper plays as you hover it. Click one and it fades onto your desktop, no restart, no black flash.

A Dynamic Island for your Mac. Music, Claude Code and ChatGPT, right at the notch.

It grows out of the MacBook notch, or sits at the top of an external display. When a song changes or an AI task finishes, it springs open for a moment. Hover it for controls, and click a finished task to jump straight back to its chat.

One canvas across every screen. Or a different wallpaper on each.

Displays showing the same video share one player, so they stay in sync and decode it once. Plug a monitor back in and its wallpaper comes back too.

Thoughtful in every detail. And light on your battery.

🪟 Covered by a full-screen app paused
🔋 Low Power Mode paused

🔌 On battery optional

Pauses when you can't see it

Each display pauses on its own when it's covered, and everything pauses in Low Power Mode or when your Mac gets hot. Hardware decoding keeps it around 2% CPU.
