Flow Nodes vs Wallshader

Flow Nodes is a visual programming app for building live graphics, video effects, 3D scenes, and custom interfaces — just connect nodes, no code required. Start from ready-made presets in Discover, follow built-in tutorials, or build from scratch. Combine image processing, video, animation, math, networking, and UI with realtime inputs like camera, microphone, motion sensors, body, hand and face tracking, MIDI, OSC, and NDI. Built for realtime creation. Nodes arrange themselves as you connect them. Search and add nodes quickly, edit properties in the inspector, animate with a keyframe timeline, and reuse flows inside other flows. Organize projects in folders, split the canvas into tabs and panes, and navigate with a mini-map and live previews. Import and export images (including HDR), video, and 3D assets, record any output to video, and AirPlay content over Wi-Fi or HDMI. On supported devices, Apple Intelligence helps you understand and edit flows: read node docs, review connections, and use chat to create, connect, and update nodes with natural language. Automate flows with Shortcuts. Node Features - AI nodes for image generation, Image Playground, and chat - Live video: camera, background removal, chroma key, and text detection - Body, hand, and face tracking - Video playback, frame sampling, and recording - Keyframe timeline with bezier curves - OSC, MIDI, NDI, and network requests for realtime control - 3D rendering of geometry, particle fields, and Gaussian splats - Cameras, lights, projectors, and 360° equirectangular and cube map tools - Vector and geometry tools: shapes, clones, extrude, lathe, and transforms - UI nodes: buttons, sliders, labels, text fields, grids, stacks, and overlays - JavaScript and Metal shader nodes for custom logic and effects - Sensors: motion, microphone, location, game controllers, and haptics - Data and state: typed values, lists, maps, math, time, and signals Some nodes require Pro Nodes access. Your flows sync across devices with iCloud. Privacy Policy https://flownodes.app/privacy-policy.html Terms of Use https://flownodes.app/terms-of-use.html

Wallshader is a wallpaper design studio in your pocket. Don't scroll through someone else's wallpaper collection. Make your own: pick a GPU shader and shape it into something that's yours, or take a photo you love and dissolve it into dithering, halftone dots, or fluted glass. Save it as a still, or as a Live Photo that animates on your Lock Screen. A MOVING LOCK SCREEN, MADE BY YOU Animated shaders save as Live Photos. Set one as your Lock Screen wallpaper from Photos and it comes alive every time you wake your iPhone. A built-in visual guide walks you through the setup the first time. And it's easy on your battery: a Live Photo plays only for a moment when you wake the phone. Nothing runs in the background, and nothing renders while the phone is in your pocket. A REAL DESIGN STUDIO, NOT A FILTER APP - A growing collection of GPU shaders rendered in real time on your device: mesh gradients, grain gradients, metaballs, voronoi, warp, spirals, god rays, noise fields and more - Photo filters that turn your own images into wallpapers: dithering, halftone dots, halftone CMYK, water, fluted glass, paper texture - Photos-style editing: Shader, Adjust, Frame, and Colors tabs over a live Metal preview - Precision ruler sliders with tick-snapping and haptics - Curated color palettes applied by color role: one tap recolors the whole wallpaper coherently - Presets, Randomize, and full undo and redo - Photo wallpapers: bring images from Photos or Files, frame them with pan, zoom, and rotation, choose Original, B&W, or custom colors - Pinch into a full-screen preview at any time YOUR LIBRARY, EVERYWHERE - A Photos-style grid library with Favorites, full-screen browsing, and multi-select - iCloud sync (optional, no account, no sign-in): your entire library stays automatically in sync with Wallshader for Mac and between your iPhone and iPad. Design at your desk, finish on the couch. - Share any wallpaper as a tiny .wallshader file over AirDrop or Messages. The recipient taps to import and remix it, and Quick Look shows a real render right in Messages, Mail, and Files. - Export at iPhone, iPad, or Desktop sizes DESIGNED FOR iPAD, TOO On iPad, Wallshader becomes a landscape design surface: a wide canvas with the preview front and center, tool rails on either side, and a detail strip below. Closer to a desktop studio than a phone app. PRIVATE AND NATIVE 100% Swift and Metal. No account, no ads, no tracking, no data collection. A wallpaper is a few kilobytes of parameters, not a downloaded video. The only network use is syncing your own library to your own iCloud. FAIR PRICING Free to try: keep up to 7 wallpapers with every editing feature unlocked. Wallshader Pro is a single one-time purchase, and it unlocks unlimited wallpapers on iPhone, iPad, and Mac together. No subscription, ever. Shader effects powered by Paper Shaders (paper.design).
