Vanilla Wallpapers

Raw shots, straight from the lens. In a world of generated images, filtered feeds, and over-edited everything, Vanilla is a small rebellion: nothing but unedited camera shots, captured by real people, sharing what their eyes caught. Open the camera. Take a portrait shot of something you found beautiful. Post it. That's the whole app. Browse a quiet feed of photos from around the world. Tap a country on the map and see what other people noticed there. If you find a view you'd want to live with, save it as your wallpaper. No filters. No edits. No AI. No imports from your library. The app physically refuses anything that isn't a fresh shot from your own camera in this moment — that's the whole point. A slower, smaller place to notice the world. The way it actually looks when no one's tried to improve it. — A note on community — Every photo can be reported. Every user can be blocked. We review reports within 24 hours. Vanilla has zero tolerance for objectionable content. Terms: https://api.vanillapp.uk/terms
