Wallper 1.3.5 — Lock Screen & Big QoL Update

Big quality-of-life update: smarter autostart, fixed screen saver on macOS 26, async wallpaper installs, new preview pipeline, and an extra trial week for everyone.

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 so the desktop stays clean.

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

  • Notification permission prompt is shown in a more meaningful moment to actually improve the experience instead of annoying you.

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 and less chatty.

  • Wallpaper install operations now run asynchronously, keeping the app responsive while work happens in the background.

  • 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 for a more alive browsing experience.

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

  • Fullscreen view launch is slightly delayed so transitions look smoother and less jarring.

  • Multiple toggles in Settings were fixed so they correctly reflect the actual state of features.

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, improving consistency across devices.

  • 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 — the new trial window will be available.
