EveryWall draws minimal wallpapers on your phone, one at a time, and downloads nothing from anywhere: they are born on the phone the moment you look at them. 77 generative patterns - hills, waves, arches, terrazzo, circuits, paths - and 26 curated palettes: Sunset, Oceano, Salvia, Terracotta, Nordic, Sakura, Vulcano, Caffè, Corallo and the rest. Swipe to change pattern, tap a ramp to change colours: the full screen preview updates at once, in your phone's real proportions. What you see is what you save. BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD iOS does not let any app set your wallpaper. That is not an EveryWall limit: Apple opens that door to no one. EveryWall saves the image to Photos at your screen's exact resolution, and from there you set it in two taps from Settings, Wallpaper. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Surprise me: a brand new composition, picked at random. - New variation: the same wallpaper rolled again, like a fresh throw of the dice. - Harmonic palettes generated on the spot, for when the 26 are not enough: pick the character you want, from monochrome to neon, and the colours come out in tune with each other. - Light and dark mode, film grain, adjustable density. - Favourites: set a wallpaper aside and find it identical months later. - Wallpaper of the day: a composition decided by the date, the same all day long, with its own home screen widget. THE WALLPAPER CODE Every wallpaper has a short code that describes it completely. Share the code and whoever receives it gets the identical wallpaper back, on a phone or on a computer: the code is text, so it survives the apps that compress images. Sharing a wallpaper sends image and code together. NOTHING AROUND IT No account, no ads, no purchases. EveryWall never connects to the internet and collects no data at all: favourites stay on the phone, images stay in your Photos. ALSO ON YOUR COMPUTER The same generator lives at everywall.app, with the same patterns and the same palettes. A code made there works here, and the other way round.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: EveryWall at none against Widgetly's 1. Widgetly's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 4 days). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
