Multi-Monitor Support

Stretch a single ultra-wide visual loop perfectly across screens, or run independent wallpapers on each display.

How it works

Simple by design.

Choose your layout

Select Independent Screens for distinct wallpapers, or Stretched Display Split to wrap a single 4K visual across your entire setup.

Select a preset

Pick from a curated catalog of dynamic backgrounds or drop in your own video files. They load instantly with zero lag.

Enjoy the view

Your wallpaper runs fluidly in the background, pausing automatically when fullscreen apps are open to save battery.

Extreme Efficiency

Zero impact.
Infinite battery.

Canvas is engineered from the ground up for Apple Silicon. When you open a fullscreen app or play a game, Canvas intelligently pauses all rendering.
