Backdrop 2.5 is here. One of the biggest updates yet:
β’ Playlists - create your own curated collections
β’ Advanced multi-display controls
β’ Motion Filter - find slower or more dynamic Backdrops by scene motion
β’ Refined UI across the entire app
β’ 500+ new Backdrops
The ultimate app for animated live wallpapers on macOS.
But thatβs not all: it also understands exactly whatβs in each scene, and writes that back to the Backdrop record. Poor user-provided metadata gets enriched with the right context, capturing things like mood and missing franchise, which greatly improves searchability.
Backdrop submissions have grown 10x over the last few months, so I finally built a fully automated review pipeline. Using Gemini + Vision, it now handles submission reviews for me: detecting poor quality, catching watermarks, classifying scene content, and deciding approval.

These apps are seemingly not codesigned. Instead they direct users to install them via Terminal commands, bypassing Gatekeeper. They then employ Javascript Automations (JXA) to steal data from your Mac: Notes, emails, wallets, browser. https://moonlock.com/new-mac-malware-digitstealer
