CLUSTER LIVE-ANIMATED-HOME · 37 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2013-01-10

Animated live wallpaper apps

This cluster comprises apps that turn device home and lock screens into animated content—videos, GIFs, art, weather visualizations, and interactive effects—plus a few static wallpaper generators and changers. Entry counts from 2013 through 2026 are low and irregular, never exceeding three in a single month, so the cluster shows a long, thin tail of releases rather than any concentrated activity. featherwall leads on traction with 18 stars, while Paperize and Windy Live Wallpaper have 0 stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
