Meshwork

Meshwork makes wallpapers on your phone. Not a gallery of downloads — a generator. Every wallpaper you see was drawn the moment you opened the app, and no two are ever the same. THREE FAMILIES Gradients — soft mesh blobs, directional colour fields with visible folds, clean linear fades, and radial glows. Geometry — faceted bars, triangles, rings, waves, and grids, each tile coloured from the gradient beneath it. Lines — dense fields of lit strokes bending across black, with the moiré that comes from drawing them densely. THIRTEEN CURATED PALETTES Tokyo Night, Peach Sunset, Vaporwave, Pastel Dream, Deep Ocean, Ember, Mint Fresh, Midnight, Citrus Pop, Orchid Haze, and three dark sets built for Lines. Colours are chosen, never random, which is the difference between a wallpaper and noise. DESIGN YOUR OWN Open Create and build one from scratch. Pick two to six colours from sixty swatches, choose a style, then tune it — blob count, softness, angle, pattern density, light position. The preview updates as you drag. SEE IT BEFORE YOU SET IT Preview any wallpaper full screen behind a mock Lock or Home screen, so you can judge whether the clock and your icons stay readable. That is what actually decides if a wallpaper works. EXPORTS AT YOUR SCREEN'S TRUE SIZE Downloads render at your device's native resolution, not a scaled-up preview. Choose PNG, WebP, or JPEG. Watch an ad to unlock 4K export. KEEP WHAT YOU LIKE Tap the heart, or press and hold any thumbnail. Saved wallpapers are stored as a recipe rather than an image, so they cost almost nothing and still export at full size whenever you come back. NO ACCOUNT, NO SERVER There is nothing to sign up for. Meshwork has no backend, and your wallpapers never leave your phone unless you save them yourself. A NOTE ON SETTING WALLPAPERS iOS does not let any app change your wallpaper for you — that is an Apple restriction, not our choice. Meshwork saves to Photos at full resolution and shows you the two taps that finish the job. Remove ads with a single payment. It is not a subscription.

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Wallpapers at 10.0 against Meshwork's 15.1. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
