NATIVE MACOS ENGINE · FREE BETA

Your Mac is a masterpiece.
Your wallpaper is a JPEG.

Atheria turns your desktop into living art. Silk-smooth loops and Metal shaders react to your presence, then stop dead at 0 fps the second a window hides them. And it does what most wallpaper engines simply don't: Display Guard shields your panel from burn-in around the clock, then veils the screen for privacy the moment you step away.

Live Metal Shaders

One engine,
every mood.

Every Atheria shader is generative art rendered live on the GPU with Metal. No video file, no loop, never the same frame twice. Pick a style below, then drag the sliders or move your mouse: each one reacts to your presence in real time.

Drag to bring a desktop to life

Left: the desktop you have today. Right: the same Mac running Atheria's Metal engine. The divider is yours, and so is the cursor. Move it over the live side.

Display Guard · Privacy Mask

A screen saver that actually saves your screen

Display Guard draws a click-through veil of micro-shifting grain that keeps static menu bars and docks from burning into OLED and mini-LED panels. It stays invisible at 0.5% opacity while you work. Step away, and it becomes a privacy mask: your screen frosts over the moment you go idle, then melts away the instant you return. No lock screen. No password prompt. No one reading over your shoulder.

Idle Privacy Opacity 85%

Zero-Drain Occlusion Monitor

Battery life is a primary concern on laptops. Atheria continuously tracks window positions on the screen. If other applications fully cover the desktop, rendering halts and frame rate drops to 0 fps instantly.

Window Occlusion: 0%
Render Rate: 60 fps

Context Trigger Rules

Automate your workspace visual tone. Swap playlists or dynamic shaders based on system triggers. Connect actions to your battery status, active application focus, time parameters, or Siri Shortcuts.

Native Video Workspace

Import and edit high-resolution loop video formats directly within the application. Rotate vertical videos, trim loops, crop coordinates, and perform hardware-accelerated H.264/HEVC exports.

FREE WHILE IN BETA

Stop staring at a still image.

Two minutes from now your desktop could be moving. Native Swift, Apple Silicon, and an engine that knows when to disappear, and when to stand guard.
