Phonto - GPU-accelerated live wallpapers for Wayland and macOS, written in Rust
I've been using mpv-paper on Hyprland for a couple months but ran into really high CPU usage, so I decided to write my own solution.
Phonto uses GStreamer and EGL to keep the entire decoding and rendering pipeline on the GPU, making much better use of resources compared to CPU-based approaches.
A friend also jumped in and added MacOS support, including playing live wallpapers on the lock screen which was a nice bonus.
Still missing a few things like multi-monitor support but that's coming soon. Other feature requests and contributions are welcome!
