In their own words
BioniX Wallpaper Changer
BioniX Wallpaper Changer is a Windows app for managing desktop backgrounds with live video, slideshows, photo collages, animated effects, and automated changes. It accepts JPG, PNG, BMP, WebP, GIF, TIFF, and HEIC images, along with video, animated GIF, and animated WebP wallpapers. Playlists can be filtered by name, path, rating, or EXIF data, sorted, rated, monitored for folder changes, and batch-imported from webpages or Flickr. Wallpaper changes can follow local sunrise and sunset or specified times. On multiple monitors, each display can use its own mode, share one image, or clone the same wallpaper. The app can show webpages as wallpaper and apply AI border fill through local ComfyUI or SD WebUI/Forge, or cloud providers including Stability AI, Runware, OpenAI, Replicate, and fal.ai. It is portable, can run from USB without installation, and pauses animation during full-screen use or battery operation. Windows Vista through 11 are listed; macOS and Linux builds are not planned. A 15-day trial and free plan are available, with paid plans from €9.99 a year.
