Not for this one but hey Muzei is nice. You get new wallpapers daily (or whichever frequency you might wanna set) on anything interesting you. By default it’s art, but you can get additional plugins about whatever scratches your itch. I’m fine with it downloading daily landscapes from Bing (but without Bing getting to check at anything in my phone).

Never heard of it. Why do you need an app to download wallpapers in the first place?

It’s really weird how getting old nowadays means “I know how to do this shit FOR FREE” for so many computer related things. Give me 1h and I’ll handpick 60+ images to rotate as wallpapers.

Tapet is also good for dynamically created wallpapers.I bought it a long time ago way before the current AI hype cycle.

I could see it being a good way to support artists, if that’s where the money is going.

It’s been around for like 2 years now I believe. There was a bit of hype about it when it first came out since he’s a popular influencer but it didn’t get many to actually sign up for the $50 a year subscription. I do know people did the on time purchases of some individual wallpapers though. As to why, I think he is too into the Apple ecosystem of everything being a subscription that he forgets that most people can’t afford nonsense.

$50/yr for wallpapers?!?! That’s some asshat seeing the enshitification train and thinking, “Man I gotta get on THAT!”
$50/yr?!?!
For WALLPAPERS?!?!

amusing thing is that when it came out someone ripped all the wallpapers from the app and put them online for free. most of it was AI slop anyways.

Haha yeah they were in like a Google cloud photo the app would call to to retrieve them. They were available for free the same day it released

It had some popular YouTuber’s name on it, that’s enough for some to buy anything

I can only imagine with his audience size what his team looks like right now. I’m sure they aren’t content with standard YT revenue and are always looking for ways to turn his massive fame into more dollars. They cover a lot of silly expensive high end shit like Rivians and Apple Vision. It’s not crazy to think that they could milk the rich fools for a buck. Believe it or not there are people who think to themselves “Hm, interesting. $50? Okay, that’s nothing, I’ll check it out.”

It was split with the artists of said wallpapers, and was also kind of a gallery app thing.
But hey, as a Finnish saying goes, “It isn’t the one who asks who is stupid, but the one who pays.”
