Wallfold: Live Wallpapers

Quiet art that notices you.

Wallfold is a small gallery of live wallpapers made like prints, not screensavers: fine lines, soft gradients, glass, halftones and folded light, layered at real depths. Tilt your phone and the layers lean past each other. Swipe between home screens and the far layers drift. Tap, and each piece answers in its own quiet way: a ripple, a glow, a swirl, the light swinging toward your finger.

Some are made to be played with. Tap Flip and its tiles turn over in a wave from your finger; drop wax into Lava; stir Vapour like mist; tap Constellations and the stars join up under the northern lights. Every tap plays out, even when you tap again.

Pick a piece, tap Set as wallpaper, done. No themes to build, no sliders, no hundred layers of settings.

THE COLLECTION
Over eighty pieces, each in two colourways or more, all dark-first so they sit quietly behind your icons:
• Constellations and Lava: stars that join up under the northern lights, wax rising in a lamp
• Vapour, Stir, Bloom and Wake: soft gradients you part, swirl, bloom and ripple with a fingertip
• Compass, Meadow, Harp, Fireflies, Maze, Blinds, Thermo, Slide and Pinwheels: needles, grass, strings, fireflies, arcs, slats, warmth, tiles and pinwheels that answer your touch
• Flip, Pop and Halftone: tiles that turn over, bubble wrap that pops, dots that swell in colour, wherever you tap
• Pool, Moon and Pour: a pool at night and a moon on still water rippling under your finger, colour blooming in the dark
• Cells and Rise: squares of light climbing a grid of tiles, in blue, red, yellow and green
• Strata, Dune and Drift: sheets of fine lines folding over each other
• Reeded and Vitrine: light through fluted glass
• Lumen: light spilling from a seam in a dark room
• Saffron and Ribbon: bands fanned out and braided
• Haze, Mist and Afterglow: soft, out-of-focus gradients
• Lintel, Echo and Vesper: bars of blue neon, rings rippling out from the camera, tubes of sea-green light
• Switchback and Hall: a bundle of lines turning back on itself, a floor and ceiling running on into the dark
• Obsidian and Gatefold: a black slab lit red from behind, one dusk folded twice
• Corkscrew and Fold: a spring seen close up, a fat matte knot folding over and under itself
• Crest: rose light rising behind strips of glass, highest in the middle
• Aura: a sharp dark peak in drifting clouds of coloured light
• Ink, Flow and Strokes: colour poured into dark water, a slow liquid field, soft strokes of light
• Nightfall, Chorus and Bokeh: light washing up out of the dark, a curtain of fine light, capsules of out-of-focus colour
• Dawn: beams of every colour rising through reeded glass
• Sheet: a sheet of dark glass, its edges catching warm light and cool
• Bevel: iridescent colour poured behind leaning ribs of glass
• Sweep, Outline and Slats: a sweep of light, shapes drawn in fine lines, light behind slats of glass
• Orbit and Shard: glass spheres lit blue, coral wire pulled tight
• Graticule, Hatch, Lattice, Duplex and Modular: grids, engraving, halftones and a Bauhaus alphabet
• Ticker, Align, Neon Burst and six more: the nashtendo sign's letters, too big to read, drawn in light
…and more.

MADE TO MOVE, NOT TO DRAIN
Every piece is drawn live by your phone's graphics chip, not played from a video, so it stays sharp at any size and loops seamlessly, forever. Wallfold only draws while you can see it, eases off when nothing is moving, and steps down further in Battery Saver or when your phone runs warm.

NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE
No account, no ads, no tracking. Wallfold doesn't even ask for internet access. The tilt is read from your phone's motion sensors, on the phone, and is never stored or sent anywhere.

Works on Android 9 and up with OpenGL ES 3.0. Best with a gyroscope; phones without one still lean with gravity.
