Wobbly Generative Art is a curated gallery of mesmerizing generative art animations — flow fields, particle systems, fractals, physics simulations, and more — all running in real-time on your device. EXPLORE & DISCOVER Browse a beautiful gallery of wobbles organized by style. Filter by category — particles, geometric, organic, physics, noise — or search by name. Save your favorites for quick access. A rainbow-shifting Liquid Glass interface makes browsing feel as alive as the art itself. TOUCH & TILT Every wobble responds to your touch — drag, tap, and swipe to shape the animation in real time. Your phone's gyroscope adds another dimension: tilt your device and watch the art follow your movements. Light touches create subtle shifts; firm presses push the visuals further. It's generative art that feels physical. CUSTOMIZE & SAVE Make each wobble your own. Choose from six color themes — Amber, Mono, Blue, Rose, Emerald, and Arctic. Adjust parameters like speed, intensity, and particle count with precision sliders. Your customizations are saved per wobble and remembered between sessions — come back to exactly the setup you love. LIVE WALLPAPERS Turn any wobble into a Live Photo wallpaper. Capture 5 seconds of animation and save it directly to your photo library — then set it as your lock screen for a one-of-a-kind animated wallpaper that no one else has. AMBIENT MODE Transform your device into a living art display. Ambient mode cycles through your favorite wobbles with smooth cross-fade transitions — each one playing with your saved customizations. A minimal clock keeps time, the screen auto-dims for nighttime use, and the gyroscope makes the art drift with your breathing. Perfect for your nightstand, desk, or as a conversation piece.
