Wallper 1.3.5  Lock Screen & Big QoL Update

Highlights

  • New autostart flow: Wallper can launch with macOS and quietly sit in the background

  • Screen saver fixed for macOS 26 and improved for older versions

  • Async wallpaper install no more UI freeze when you hit Set as wallpaper

  • Preview generation moved to the backend for more stable, consistent thumbnails

  • Everyone with an expired trial gets one more free week

Experience & Automation

  • Autostart can be requested on first launch and enabled automatically right after install

  • When Wallper starts with the system, the main window stays hidden for the first ~60 seconds

  • Default behaviour: wallpapers are turned off when your Mac is running on battery power

  • Notification permission prompt is shown in a more meaningful moment

Screen Saver & Wallpapers

  • Screen saver on macOS 26 is now properly integrated, using Apple's new aerials catalog

  • Legacy screen saver handling on macOS < 26 is partially fixed and much more reliable

  • Wallpaper installation pipeline has been reworked to avoid blocking the main thread

  • Reduced chance of black screens when applying new wallpapers or switching modes

Performance, Stability & Networking

  • Heavy settings sync was refactored to be more robust and less error-prone

  • Internet and network usage was cleaned up so background requests are leaner

  • Wallpaper install operations now run asynchronously

  • Overall app responsiveness is improved, especially when quickly switching wallpapers or views

Explore, Cards & UI Polish

  • Explore tab received a visual refresh and subtle animations

  • Card logic was rebuilt: hover, preview and actions now behave more predictably

  • Fullscreen view launch is slightly delayed so transitions look smoother

  • Multiple toggles in Settings were fixed to correctly reflect the actual state

Uploads, Previews & Trial Extension

  • Upload and publication of wallpapers has been fixed and stabilised end-to-end

  • Preview thumbnails are now generated differently and stored via the backend

  • All users who previously ran out of trial get an extra 7 days to try Wallper again

  • If your trial already expired, just update and restart the app
