Phosphor / Audio-reactive wallpaper

Your desktop, in time with the music.

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.

Wallpaper mode

Subtle when you need it. Loud when you don't.

01

Per-Space wallpapers

Different scene on each macOS Space. Code on Space 1 with subtle Terrain, music on Space 2 with full Bassdrop.

→ per·space
02

Auto-dim on focus

When a window is in front, Phosphor automatically lowers contrast so it never competes with what you're reading.

→ occlusion aware
03

Battery-friendly

On Low Power Mode it drops to 30 fps. On battery with no audio playing, it idles to a gentle drift at 15 fps.

→ ≤ 1% cpu idle
04

Lock screen aware

Pauses entirely when you lock or close the lid. Resumes the moment you wake.

→ sleep ok
05

Multi-display

Different scene on each monitor, or one scene synced across all of them. You pick.

→ unlimited displays
06

Reset in one click

Quitting Phosphor restores your previous wallpaper. No leftover state, no Finder confusion.

→ clean exit
