Dithered live wallpapers your Mac cooks up itself
About Pixel Soup
Pixel Soup is a creative Mac app that transforms your desktop wallpaper into dynamic, artistic visuals. Users can select shapes, color palettes, and dithering styles to generate live, GPU-accelerated wallpapers that gently move or remain static behind their icons. The app also allows for custom images to be dithered, offering a personalized touch. With simple controls like one-click random wallpapers or scheduled updates, Pixel Soup provides a lively and customizable desktop experience without the need for accounts, tracking, or subscriptions. Its straightforward payment model ensures users own the app outright after a single purchase, making it an attractive choice for those seeking artistic desktop personalization without ongoing costs.
