Hello there, fellow lemmings!

As the title suggests, I’ve made an app that changes your wallpaper regularly based on the parameters you set. It uses AI Horde (which uses Stable Diffusion) to generate the images and you can set the interval at which your wallpaper changes (from 1 time per day to 48 times per day).

Other features:

  • completely free (in fact, will be open source next week)
  • easy to use, but offers also advanced options
  • there’s a help section with all the parameters explained
  • works on both a phone and tablet

There’s also an optional Premium subscription which puts you higher in the priority queue, but most of the time it’s not needed - unless you’re generating during the most busy time, the wait is not really that long even without Premium. Note that if you’re a user of the AI Horde, you can put your own api key there and get the same benefits as having a Premium.

The open source version (released next week) will also allow (toggleable on or off) NSFW content, which is not possible in the Google Play version. It also doesn’t contain the Premium subscription.

Also please check https://dontkillmyapp.com and see steps for your phone vendor, this app needs to work in the background and most vendors kill background apps. It will ask for an exception for battery saver on its own when you set the schedule for the first time, but for some vendors that’s not enough.

Do let me know what do you think about the app! And if you want me to tag you when I make a release post for the open source version, let me know. Also huge thanks to @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com for creating and maintaining the AI Horde, which makes this (and other cool apps) possible!

    Nope, but not a bad idea. Though I’d have to write an adapter for the api. Is there an OpenAPI specification anywhere?

      Adding Automatic1111 API support in addition to the Horde would be a good idea. For people who don’t have a GPU, it’s also fine to use the Horde. And if you have resources to spare, it would also be a great idea to contribute to the Horde by running a worker.

      Otherwise I think this project is fine. The devs seem to like to see their software being used. And they invented the ‘Kudos’ to handle this. And in my opinion building ontop of a solid service is better than reinventing the wheel all the time.

      They once wrote a blog post explaining their opinion (specifically about paid services): https://dbzer0.com/blog/what-about-paid-services-on-top-of-the-ai-horde/

        Well, I’m contributing already, that’s in fact how the Premium subscription works - it uses my api key, which has around ~2 million kudos, around 1 million of which is from my workers. I’m also contributing by building https://horde-ng.org.

        Supporting another backend in the AI Wallpaper Changer will be a tough one, but I’ll tackle it when I have some spare time.

          Wow, nice. I’m definitely going to check it out.
