Wallspace
Free, or $12.99 one-time for Pro (unlimited downloads, 4K, lock-screen wallpapers)
Price checked at source September 18, 2026.
A native-Swift live-wallpaper app for Mac — 4K animated wallpapers with lock-screen support, under 2% CPU.
Our take
Pitches itself directly against Electron-style live-wallpaper tools on the CPU-and-battery cost of running one — native Swift, no login, no subscription, with a one-time Pro unlock rather than a recurring fee.
