Phosphor's Wallpaper mode replaces your static macOS wallpaper with a live, audio-reactive scene that breathes behind your icons and windows. Battery-aware. Idle-aware. Window-aware.
Different scene on each macOS Space. Code on Space 1 with subtle Terrain, music on Space 2 with full Bassdrop.
When a window is in front, Phosphor automatically lowers contrast so it never competes with what you're reading.
On Low Power Mode it drops to 30 fps. On battery with no audio playing, it idles to a gentle drift at 15 fps.
Pauses entirely when you lock or close the lid. Resumes the moment you wake.
Different scene on each monitor, or one scene synced across all of them. You pick.
Quitting Phosphor restores your previous wallpaper. No leftover state, no Finder confusion.
Launch from Applications or the menu bar.
Or pick "Set as Wallpaper" from the menu bar.
Right-click the menu-bar icon to pick a different scene anytime. Phosphor remembers per-Space.
macOS 14.4 or later. Apple Silicon. No subscription, ever.
