Granulay
Real-time vintage film grain for your Mac screen
Granulay adds a real-time film grain overlay to your entire Mac screen — a transparent texture on top of any app, any window, across all monitors. Version 2.0 brings two effects: Grain (classic animated film texture) and Matte (softer, diffused analog look). Switch between animated and static grain for a cinematic or photographic feel. It lives in your menu bar. Turn it on, adjust intensity, and forget it's there. No data collected. Just $0.99.
Hey everyone! I'm Gabriel, the maker of Granulay.
I built this because I wanted my screen to have that warm, analog texture you see in film photography and old movies, but without opening Photoshop or applying filters to screenshots. Granulay does it live, across your entire display.
v2.0 adds a Matte effect (think soft analog film) alongside the original Grain, plus the ability to freeze the grain as a static texture. I also rewrote the overlay system for better stability on fullscreen apps and multi-monitor setups.
Would love to hear your thoughts and if you have ideas for new grain styles or features, I'm all ears!
