Watched people wreck websites with this and wanted it for Slack and Jira. So I made a Mac version.

It screenshots your screen and turns it into the level. Out today.

A wallpaper app works all day, and most days you never open its window. So in 1.0.20 you pick where its icon lives: the menu bar, the Dock, or both.

[Walyro - Live Wallpapers for macOS @walyro_app]

Walyro 1.0.20 is out.

In Settings, "Show Walyro in" now has three choices: Menu bar and Dock, Menu bar only, or Dock only.

Like a clean Dock? Pick Menu bar only. Your wallpaper keeps playing and Walyro waits up in the menu bar.

@itsvyshnavtr Hey @itsvyshnavtr , have a question about launching on builtbyindies. Mind if I DM you? Your DMs look closed.

[Alex @DevNerdBytes]

@itsvyshnavtr Congrats! 🙌

I wanted opening Walyro to feel more like opening a streaming app on a Friday night than opening a folder.
1.0.19 is my go at that: your own videos on a big screen, sorted onto shelves.

[Walyro - Live Wallpapers for macOS @walyro_app]

We redecorated Walyro. Open it and your wallpaper is playing right at the top, with Pause, Next and Adjust under it.

Try a video on before you set it: the preview matches your screen’s exact shape.

Two monitors? Each one runs its own playlist.

I destroyed VS Code. Sorry @code, it was the build errors.

[Alex @DevNerdBytes]

@alejandr0bujan Ha-ha-ha, that's brilliant!

[Alex @DevNerdBytes]

@sauda_coder Websites are the warm-up. We made one for the Mac, so you can do this to your calendar and VS Code.

@RoundtableSpace This got me hooked, so I took it off the browser: a native Mac game that turns whatever's on your screen into the level. Slack, Jira, Xcode.

Download for macOS 14+

Walyro 1.0.17 is out. Add a photo and it becomes a wallpaper with depth: it leans toward your pointer, the near parts more than the far ones.

The photo is split into layers on your Mac and never uploaded.

@GlassLilypad Walyro if you want your own videos up there, Wallspace if you'd rather browse a catalog. different jobs.

[Alex @DevNerdBytes]

@iamvishesh23 Yeah same boat here.

Do those conversations actually turn into signups though, or mostly network for now?
And how's it compare to organic search, if you've tried it?

Replies cost you time daily, seo kinda runs by itself

[Alex @DevNerdBytes]

Hey Indie Hackers!

Honest question: how do you actually promote your products?
SEO? Backlinks? Build in public? Cold DMs? Or just praying to the algorithm gods?
Trying to figure out what's actually working in 2026.

@planetsurfer Nice! Are you running a local AI model, or using something like the GPT API?

[Alex @DevNerdBytes]

@walyro_app The best mac application for setting live video wallpapers!

[Walyro - Live Wallpapers for macOS @walyro_app]

Walyro just passed 1,000 installs on the Mac App Store, carried by the one decision every competitor avoids.

[Walyro - Live Wallpapers for macOS @walyro_app]

Your Mac setup shouldn’t stop at one wallpaper.

Walyro lets every display run its own live wallpaper — from calm cinematic landscapes to animated sci-fi worlds.

See your Mac differently.

I’m almost ready to launch the https://t.co/p6aKSDWGg9 app.
Now I’m wrestling with the hardest part: App Store screenshots and creatives 🫠
