Palace

What Palace is

Palace is a personal media manager and wallpaper engine for organizing, displaying and rotating wallpapers and other media. Users can sort wallpapers into categories, albums and favorites, then search by name or tag. Display options include fill, fit, center, tile, stretch and spanning multiple monitors, with adjustable background colors and effects. Rotation can run sequentially or in shuffle mode, at intervals from five seconds to several hours, and can target individual displays. Palace supports GIFs, video files such as MP4 and WebM, GLSL shaders and locally stored images; desktop video wallpapers require MPV. Online sources use public JSON files with direct public media URLs, and cannot access private or password-protected files. Local media works offline, and ordinary use does not require an account. The web hub lets users browse community sources and collections, download wallpapers and submit source URLs. A lifetime license covering all six platforms costs 4.00 USD as a one-time purchase; Google Play costs 7.99 USD as a one-time purchase for Android only.
