Wowl finds beautiful images from five sources, lets you browse them with the arrow keys and sets your favourite as wallpaper or lock screen – in a clean, frameless 16:9 window.

How it’s built

Wowl is a Tauri 2 app with a Rust backend that talks to the image APIs, caches the history and sets the wallpaper; the interface is vanilla TypeScript without a framework. Settings and history flip in with a 3D card animation.
