Vidwall Hub

Vidwall Hub is a tool that allows you to easily import videos (mp4, mov) into the system wallpaper service and use them as lock screen animations in System Settings.

When trying to implement both dynamic wallpapers and dynamic lock screens through the Vidwall app, this feature could not be realized due to macOS sandbox restrictions. Therefore, I created a standalone version of the tested code and provide it for free, as a complement to Vidwall. Even when running independently and bypassing the sandbox, it still cannot directly set dynamic lock screens because macOS does not provide the related API. Vidwall Hub only imports videos into the system wallpaper service, and users need to complete the final application in the wallpaper options in System Settings.

URL Scheme

Vidwall Hub allows activating the tool via URL and automatically importing a video based on the file path parameter in the URL.

vidwallhub://open?file=/file/to/path/video.mp4
