Pixel Soup is a Mac app that makes your wallpaper for you. You pick a shape (eleven
of them, such as Flow, Plasma, Aurora or Topo, or your own photo), a colour palette
and a dither style, from Bayer patterns and halftone to ASCII and Benday dots. It
draws the result live on your Mac’s graphics chip and keeps it drifting gently behind
your desktop icons, or freezes it as a still image. You can shuffle for a random
new wallpaper, or let it serve a fresh one every hour or every day.

Wallpapers can be exported as PNGs at your display’s size, 6K, iPhone size or a 
square, and the site allows commercial use of the exports. It supports several displays,
pauses when windows cover the desktop and slows down in Low Power Mode. The app 
has no Dock icon, collects no data according to its privacy policy, and runs on 
macOS 14 Sonoma or later on Apple silicon and Intel Macs.

Pixel Soup is made by Madhav Oberoi and launched on Product Hunt on 4 October 2026,
finishing #18 for the day with 71 upvotes. It is sold as a one-time purchase, both
from its website and on the Mac App Store.
