SignalWall is an open-source Windows live wallpaper app that turns one or more screens into calm typography-based quote wallpapers with per-screen themes, timing, motion, and shareable presets.

Yes. SignalWall is MIT licensed and free on GitHub. Optional supporter purchases and campaign pledges help fund signing, polish, documentation, and future platform work.

Does SignalWall replace Lively Wallpaper?

SignalWall started as a live wallpaper experience and now includes its own Windows host and control center, so users do not need Lively for the current standalone release.

Built for intentional desks

A live wallpaper for people who think in systems.

SignalWall sits where your attention already goes: the desktop. It is made for Windows users, open-source builders, multi-monitor setups, desk setup creators, designers, founders, students, and anyone who wants quotes to behave like a quiet interface instead of a noisy poster.

For multi-monitor desks

Assign one message across every screen or give each monitor its own theme, quote pack, color system, and role.

For open-source trust

The source, build scripts, security policy, release notes, and verification workflow are public so the app can be inspected before it runs.

For calm productivity

Use design, focus, strategy, motivation, learning, and founder-mode quote themes to keep the desk oriented without adding another feed.

Founding backers

The first signal came from a private backer.

SignalWall exists because real people decided this quiet, open-source desktop system deserves to ship.

A different wallpaper category

The words are the visual.

Typography-first

Quotes, hierarchy, rhythm, and contrast are the medium, not an overlay on another wallpaper.

Per-screen logic

Run one thought everywhere or assign each physical display its own quote pack and visual role.

Portable setups

Export quotes, themes, screen order, timing, and motion as one shareable preset.

Motion with restraint

Particles, grid, progress, and transitions are adjustable or removable.

Proof, not promises

Every release leaves a verifiable trail.

SignalWall publishes the evidence needed to inspect what was built, where it came from, and whether a download changed in transit.

01 Signed provenance GitHub and Sigstore bind each binary to its public workflow and commit. 02 SPDX SBOM Every release includes a machine-readable software bill of materials. 03 Tests and CodeQL Configuration, monitor mapping, builds, and static analysis run in public. 04 Local verification Check hashes and provenance yourself without disabling Windows security.

Quick answers

What searchers and supporters usually ask.

What makes SignalWall different?

Most live wallpapers start with video or visual effects. SignalWall starts with text: hierarchy, pacing, themes, and screen-specific meaning.

Is it safe to install?

The code is public and the recommended workflow is source-first: inspect, build locally, verify releases, and avoid disabling Windows protections for an unsigned alpha.

Can I customize the quotes?

Yes. Add one phrase per line, group phrases by theme, choose same or different quotes across screens, then export the complete setup as a preset.
