Patterns turns your screen into something you made. CREATE YOUR STYLE Every wallpaper here starts as a recipe, not a download. Pick a generative style, tune it until it feels right, and the app renders the result on your device at full resolution. Change one value and you get something new. Nothing is fetched from a server, and no two people end up with quite the same screen. BEAUTIFUL PATTERNS Forty generative styles, organized into four families: Gradients - mesh gradients, aurora, nebula, sunset, neon and deep AMOLED black Textures - marble, watercolor, ink, smoke, clouds, fabric, carbon fiber, glass and ice Geometric - low poly, polygon, wireframe, circuit board, minimal forms and clean shapes Particles - starfields, rain, bubbles, drifting light and flowing liquid Search the catalog by name or filter by family to find a direction fast. MAKE IT YOURS Open any style in the editor and it becomes adjustable. Sliders for scale, density, complexity, symmetry, rotation, depth, glow, blur, contrast and more update the preview as you move them. Replace the palette with your own colors using the system color picker, or reset to the original in a tap. Feeling exploratory? Randomize the seed and let the engine surprise you, then keep the version you like. DESIGNED FOR WALLPAPERS Render in HD, QHD or 4K, in portrait for iPhone and iPad or landscape for Mac. On iPhone and iPad your wallpaper saves straight to Photos, with a short guide to finishing in Settings. On Mac, Set as Desktop applies it across every display at once.
