60+ moving graphics to watch, touch and make your own. Liquid chrome, wireframe seas, lasers and neon turn your iPhone or iPad into a canvas in motion. TOUCH THE PICTURE Press and hold the canvas to make the scene react at your fingertip. Keep holding to speed up the motion, then release to return to your chosen speed. Swipe sideways to change scenes, or up and down to explore styles. MOTION WITHOUT MUSIC Switch off the microphone and let Ambient Auto keep the graphics moving. Leave the app open on your desk and enjoy the picture. The screen stays awake while the app is in use; Ambient Auto does not play music. LET THE ROOM JOIN IN Turn on Listen Mode and the graphics respond to sound around you through the microphone: a record, speakers or a piano. LIQUIDWAVE does not capture audio directly from other apps or from headphones. 60+ SCENES. 10 STYLES. โ€ข Line โ€” waveforms and contour lines. โ€ข Graphic โ€” op art, geometric patterns and halftone dots. โ€ข Wire โ€” wireframe oceans and rolling landscapes. โ€ข Raster โ€” point clouds, particles and data-inspired forms. โ€ข Lighting โ€” stage lights, lasers and haze. โ€ข Chroma โ€” auroras, curtains and fields of colour. โ€ข Cyber โ€” neon grids and retro-futuristic worlds. โ€ข Metal โ€” liquid chrome, foil and iridescent surfaces. โ€ข Fluid โ€” ferrofluid, lava, honey and liquids that heave and drip. โ€ข Spectral โ€” oscilloscopes, field lines and forms drawn from a fine spectrum. FIND YOUR VIEW Save your favourites, adjust speed and intensity, or let Shuffle take you through the scenes โ€” or, with Full Unlock, through playlists of your own. Enjoy a larger canvas on iPad, or connect a TV with AirPlay or a compatible display cable: the TV shows the visuals while your device becomes the controller. Graphics run inside the app. LIQUIDWAVE does not set your Home Screen or Lock Screen wallpaper. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Sound is analysed on your device and is not recorded or uploaded. No account, no tracking, no analytics and no ads. Wave and one scene you choose during the welcome tour are free. Full Unlock is a one-time purchase that opens all 60+ scenes and scene playlists on iPhone, iPad and Mac. No subscription required. Requires iOS or iPadOS 17 or later.
