Hi everyone, this is my first open source project, so I'm looking for honest feedback. Lucid puts live 4K video wallpapers on your Mac desktop. It's a native SwiftUI app, MIT licensed, with no account and no telemetry. Built it as a free alternative to paid live wallpaper apps like Wallpaper engine, Backdrop, etc. - The app is a ~2 MB download. Clips are 4K, so they take disk space (a few MB to 100+ MB each, depending on the clip). Only the ones you pick get stored. **What it does**- A different wallpaper per display, playlists, auto-change timer, open at login- Default comes with About 590 curated 4K loops (ESA/Webb, Hubble, ESO, NASA, Wikimedia), all checked at 3840x2160 or larger and looped seamlessly- Apple's own Aerials work too- Pauses on battery, in Low Power Mode, when the screen locks, or when a window covers the desktop- Drag in your own videos or photos (MP4/MOV as-is, WebM/MKV converted automatically) **Honest caveats** - Apple Silicon only for now, macOS 14+- Not notarized yet, so first launch needs System Settings > Privacy & Security > Open Anyway (steps are in the README)- It's young and has very few users **What I'd love** Code review, bug reports, and people trying it on different Macs and displays. Tell me what's broken, what's missing, and what I'm doing wrong as a first-time maintainer.
