Auto Wallpaper is a desktop app that creates wallpapers using AI based on current weather and time of day. It is available for Linux, macOS, and Windows, with installers linked for each. Users can schedule wallpaper changes at an interval they choose, keep favorite creations, and save prompts in albums for sequential or random generation. The README lists a 4K resolution option and high-detail upscaling. The app automates image generation and upscaling through Leonardo.ai and uses 1secmail.com for temporary email. Its maker describes it as a free, open-source, non-profit hobby project built partly to learn Tauri, for educational rather than commercial purposes. The README warns that a Cloudflare CAPTCHA on Leonardo.ai’s login page currently blocks the existing automation and says an update is needed. The latest listed release is v0.2.7; bug reports can be submitted through GitHub Issues, and the maker lists an email for questions.
