## What it is
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
