## Kitsmith's take

The closest thing on the Mac App Store to Wallpaper Engine, the popular Steam app for animated desktop backgrounds — independent settings per monitor (up to 6+), battery-aware playback that pauses when a wallpaper isn’t visible, and a community library you can browse or upload to. The catch, and it’s a real one per multiple App Store reviews: every wallpaper carries a watermark until you pay $6.99 to remove it, and that fee applies per wallpaper rather than once for the whole app — budget for it if you plan to use more than one or two. Community-uploaded content means some wallpapers skew mature (the listing carries a 16+ age rating), and one reviewer flagged a naming inconsistency: the installed app shows as "MyWallpaper" rather than its App Store name.

## Features

- **Independent multi-monitor control:** Each connected display (up to 6+) gets its own wallpaper and settings, following that monitor if it’s disconnected and reconnected.
- **Battery-aware playback:** Animated wallpapers pause when not visible and offer low-power modes to conserve battery on a MacBook.
- **Community library plus personal uploads:** Browse and download community-shared wallpapers, or upload your own video (up to 100MB per file).

## FAQ

**Is iWallpaper free?**

Free to browse and preview. Removing the watermark on a wallpaper you want to keep costs $6.99, charged per wallpaper rather than once for the app.

**Does iWallpaper drain the battery on a MacBook?**

Animated wallpapers use more power than a static image; the app includes battery-aware and low-power settings, per the developer, though reviewers note there’s no way to see exact CPU/GPU impact.
