Workshop Wallpaper Bridge importing and playing a wallpaper on macOS

What it does

Import

Scan a copied 431960 Workshop folder and import supported projects into a private Mac library.

Play

Run MP4, MOV, M4V, local web, image, and supported scene.pkg wallpapers on the desktop layer.

Screen saver

Install the bundled macOS screen saver so supported video wallpapers can animate when the screen saver starts.

Install

Open the DMG and drag the app into Applications. The download button uses the GitHub API to resolve the newest WorkshopWallpaperBridge-macOS-arm64.dmg asset automatically.

Apple Developer account not available

The current app is ad-hoc signed and not Apple-notarized, so macOS may report it as damaged. Only use the DMG from this repository's official GitHub Releases page. After copying the app to Applications, run:

xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Workshop Wallpaper Bridge.app"

Then open the app. It runs in the menu bar rather than the Dock.

Use it

  1. Copy your Wallpaper Engine Workshop folder from Windows: steamapps/workshop/content/431960.
  2. Open Workshop Wallpaper Bridge Settings from the macOS menu bar.
  3. Choose the copied 431960 folder, scan it, then import the supported wallpapers.
  4. Select an imported wallpaper and click Play on Desktop.
  5. Turn on Animate Screen Saver if you want supported video wallpapers to run when the macOS screen saver starts.
