In their own words
Auto Wallpaper
Auto Wallpaper is a desktop app that uses AI to make wallpapers based on the current weather and time of day. It can change wallpapers automatically at an interval you choose, and lets you save favorite creations. Prompts can be collected in albums and generated in sequence or at random. The README lists a 4K resolution option and high-detail upscaling. The app automates image generation and upscaling through Leonardo.ai, and uses 1secmail.com for temporary email. Installers are linked for Windows, Linux, and Mac. Its maker describes it as a free, open-source, non-profit hobby project, partly made to learn Tauri and intended for educational rather than commercial purposes. There is a significant caveat: a Cloudflare CAPTCHA on Leonardo.ai’s login page currently blocks the existing automation, and an update is needed. The latest listed release is v0.2.7. Bug reports can be sent through GitHub Issues; the maker also lists an email for questions or concerns.
