Waypaper is a GUI wallpaper manager for Linux systems running Wayland or Xorg, as well as macOS. It acts as a frontend for popular wallpaper backends like swaybg, swww, hyprpaper, and feh, supporting static images, GIFs, videos, and multiple monitors.

Use cases

  • set desktop wallpaper on wayland with a gui
  • manage wallpapers across multiple monitors on linux
  • use animated gif or video wallpapers on hyprland
  • restore wallpaper automatically after restarting window manager
  • browse and pick wallpapers with vim keybindings
  • use wallpaper engine wallpapers on linux

When to choose

  • you use a Wayland or Xorg window manager like Hyprland, sway, or i3 and want a graphical wallpaper picker
  • you want one frontend that works with many wallpaper backends
  • you need animated GIF or video wallpaper support
  • you want wallpapers restored automatically at login

When to avoid

  • you are on Windows or a full desktop environment that already has built-in wallpaper settings
  • you prefer a purely CLI-based or scriptable wallpaper setter
  • you don't want to install any of the required backend tools
