Show HN: Wallps: set different live wallpapers for macOS desktop and lock screenmacOS ties the lock screen to your desktop wallpaper, with no built-in option to set them separately. Wallps decouples the two, letting you choose one static image for the desktop and another for the lock screen, including live video wallpapers.What it does: - Set desktop and lock screen wallpapers independently - Use live wallpapers from local videos or Apple’s aerials - Run silently in the background as a menu bar app and automatically apply settings after a reboot - Open source, free, and compatible with macOS 13 and laterBehind the scenes, the lock screen is rendered by `loginwindow` without third-party code. As a result, live lock screen video requires registering the clip as a system aerial in macOS 26 and re-encoding user videos with Apple’s temporal scalability scheme. This is the format expected by the stock wallpaper engine; videos without it freeze after the first unlock.demo: https://x.com/dipxsyy/status/2092845512722625007?s=20
