Muro is a native macOS app that plays smooth, looping video wallpapers on your desktop and lock screen. Built entirely in Swift with no Electron, it runs at around 2% CPU and auto-pauses to save battery. 100% free, open-source, and no subscriptions.
I'm excited to share Muro, a project I built because I wanted a beautiful, performant live wallpaper app for my Mac without being forced into a monthly subscription or dealing with heavy Electron apps.
Why Muro?
🔋 Insanely lightweight: Built natively with Swift, SwiftUI, and Apple's hardware video decoder. It averages 2% CPU and auto-pauses when a window covers it or when you're on battery power.
🌅 Smart Automations (New in 3.0!): Set live wallpapers to change on a timer, or map them to the time of day using a visual timeline.
🔒 Lock Screen Support: Your live wallpapers seamlessly extend to your lock screen.
📁 Bring Your Own: Use the built-in catalog of 116 wallpapers, updated regularly, or import your own videos.
Best of all: Muro is completely free and open-source (MIT). There are no trials, no accounts, and no paywalls. It's just a native tool built for the Mac community.
⚠️ One heads up: Muro isn't notarised yet, so macOS warns you on first open. Right click Muro in Applications, choose Open, then Open again. Once only. Or run,
brew install --cask MrRockySL/muro/muro
which skips the prompt entirely.
I'd love to hear your thoughts, answer any questions, and hear what features you'd like to see next! If you find it useful, a star on the GitHub repo or supporting the project via GitHub Sponsors is incredibly appreciated. ⭐
