MyWallpaper is a macOS wallpaper app that lets you browse, download, and apply static or animated desktop backgrounds across one or more displays.
What is MyWallpaper?
MyWallpaper is a macOS wallpaper app for customizing your desktop with static and animated backgrounds. It is used by people who want more visual control over their Mac than the built-in wallpaper settings provide, especially on multi-monitor setups. The app offers a library of wallpapers to browse and apply, including live wallpapers and high-resolution still images. It also supports managing wallpapers across separate displays and virtual spaces, which is useful for users with external monitors or more complex desktop layouts. Some versions also let you import local media for personal wallpaper use. Macosgame publishes support pages for the app, and the Mac App Store listing identifies it in the Utilities category for Mac.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
MyWallpaper is a desktop customization app, so changing wallpapers, storing downloads, and accessing your local wallpaper files are normal for its purpose. If you use animated backgrounds, expect some CPU, GPU, battery, or memory use, especially with multiple displays or higher-resolution content. Only grant the access the app actually needs for importing files or managing wallpapers, and remove it if you no longer want the feature set or background activity.
Recommendation: Keep MyWallpaper if you use live or advanced multi-display wallpapers on your Mac. If you no longer use custom or animated backgrounds, you can remove it to reduce background activity and reclaim any downloaded wallpaper data.
