## What it is
Muzei is an Android live wallpaper app that refreshes your home screen daily with famous works of art or your own photos, blurring and dimming the artwork so icons and widgets stay visible. It also provides an API for developers to build custom wallpaper sources.

## Use cases
- set a daily rotating art wallpaper on my android home screen
- use my own gallery photos as a rotating wallpaper
- build a custom wallpaper source plugin for muzei
- show blurred dimmed artwork behind my home screen icons
- explore featured artwork from my home screen

## When to choose
- you want a beautiful, automatically refreshing live wallpaper on Android
- you want to rotate your own photos as wallpaper on a schedule
- you are a developer wanting to extend wallpaper sources via a simple API

## When to avoid
- you need a static wallpaper with no rotation
- you are not on Android
- you need heavy customization of wallpaper animations beyond Muzei's model
