Acrylic

What is Acrylic?

Acrylic is a wallpaper engine for iOS and macOS designed for people who want to personalize their desktop or mobile device with custom backgrounds. It helps users create mesh gradient wallpapers with simple editing controls, high-resolution output, and quick ways to generate new color combinations. The app also supports dynamic wallpaper use cases by letting users work with video wallpapers, including their own clips. Siri Shortcuts support can fit into automation workflows for generating or updating wallpapers more quickly. On Mac, Acrylic is best suited to users who want a focused customization tool rather than a general-purpose design suite. It is published by Ethan Lipnik.

Safety overview

Status: Safe

Acrylic is a personalization app for creating and using wallpapers, so ordinary file access and wallpaper-related behavior are consistent with its purpose. If you use custom videos or save exported images, those files remain part of your own library and storage. Keep the app if you actively use its wallpaper tools, and remove it if you no longer want its saved assets or desktop customization features.

Recommendation: Keep Acrylic if you use it to create or manage wallpapers on your Mac or iOS devices. If you no longer use its gradient or video wallpaper features, you can remove it like any other app and keep only any exported wallpapers you still want.
