Very cool!

However, it may definitely get broken by Apple, as you note.

I don’t think they’ll touch this part anytime soon. It’s been unchanged for a few years now, they certainly have other priorities.
Good on ya.

I won't use it, myself, because I can't deal with wallpaper moving behind my work (I also can't listen to music, while I work. Maybe it's a "generational" thing). Also, I use a 49-inch ultrawide, so it might be vomit-inducing.

I remember some other utility that played wallpaper videos, but it wasn't anywhere near as nicely done.

Which generation is that? I'm a Gen Xer. I can't work without music, but specific music without lyrics for my brain to try to follow.
I’m a “late boomer” (born in ‘62).
It doesn't move while you work, its just the lock screen and when you log in.
It’s actually configurable. You can make it keep playing if you want to.
I understand, now.

I originally thought that this was an extension to keep a video running in the background.

It simply allows you to add your own videos to the built-in Apple ones (much more useful to me).

Cool. Thanks!
