macOS 13.3 (Ventura) or later
Version 1.0.4
Latest
Makes the offline repair added in 1.0.3 survive a restart, and adds an update check.
VisionWall now remembers which wallpaper file it wrote last, so the offline repair introduced in 1.0.3 runs after a fresh launch instead of doing nothing.
New “Check for updates…” item in the menu bar, plus an automatic check at most once a day against a static file on visionwall.io. No account, no analytics, no telemetry.
Cached pin images are re-stamped every time they are used, so the images your current board actually needs are no longer the first ones evicted.
Release archives are built with ditto, so the signed and notarized app unzips clean on every Mac.
Version 1.0.3
Fixes wallpapers rendered at the wrong size after an offline launch or a wake from sleep.
A wallpaper composed for a different display setup is never stretched again: VisionWall compares the stored image’s pixel size against the screen before reapplying it.
After waking from sleep, VisionWall waits three seconds for displays to settle before deciding whether the wallpaper is stale, no more compositions baked at transient screen sizes.
The inputs of the last composition are saved to disk, so a cold launch with no internet can recompose for the screens you have right now.
New launch-time repair: if no stored wallpaper fits a connected screen, VisionWall recomposes offline from cached pins.
Version 1.0.2
Second audit round: safer board changes, friendlier errors, and a clearer menu-bar icon.
A new board URL is validated before it is committed, so a typo can no longer replace a working wallpaper with an error.
“Refresh now” works even while automatic refresh is paused.
Pinterest responses that arrive malformed produce a plain-English message instead of raw JSON.
The menu-bar icon now distinguishes “needs setup” from “something went wrong”, and launch-at-login gained a loop guard plus self-repair if the login item disappears.
Cached images are validated before use, network requests time out instead of hanging, and the cached board can be cleared from Settings.
Version 1.0.1
Fixes from the launch audit, including a large memory regression.
License checks never deactivate a paying customer on a network hiccup: only an explicit “invalid” answer deactivates, and an ambiguous one is ignored.
The compositor decodes pin thumbnails at up to 1600px, eliminating gigabyte-scale memory spikes on large boards.
The onboarding window stays open through the first render, finding the board, counting pins, composing, shows errors inline, and gives up after 45 seconds instead of hanging.
Pinterest boards with non-Latin characters in the URL now work end to end, and pasting a single pin URL instead of a board URL says so.
Version 1.0.0
The first VisionWall release.
Paste a public Pinterest board URL and VisionWall composes its pins into a masonry desktop wallpaper, refreshed on a timer.
Refresh scheduler hardened against sleep, wake, and missed timers.
License activation reworked, and the wallpaper setter rewritten for reliability across displays.
How do I update VisionWall?
1Open the ▣ menu bar icon and choose Check for updates…. VisionWall 1.0.4 also checks once a day on its own.
2Download the new build, then drag VisionWall.app into Applications, replacing the old copy.
3Reopen VisionWall. Your license key, board URL and layout settings stay where they were, a 1.x update never asks you to activate again.
VisionWall is distributed directly from visionwall.io, signed and notarized by Apple. A Mac App Store version is coming, without a date attached to it yet.
Is VisionWall still maintained?
Yes. VisionWall has shipped 5 releases, the most recent on . VisionWall is made by Lucas Viegas, a creative director in Lisbon, Portugal, and bug reports sent to [email protected] are answered by a real human, usually the same day.
This page is the only release record VisionWall publishes, and it is deliberately plain: a dated list of builds, with no ratings, download counts or testimonials attached to it. The version shown here is read from the same version.json file the app itself checks, so the site and the app cannot disagree about what is current.
Two limits have not changed across any release: VisionWall needs macOS 13.3 (Ventura) or later, and it can only read public Pinterest boards. Private and secret boards are not readable through Pinterest’s public widget API, so no VisionWall update can support them.
Updates are free for all 1.x releases.
One payment, one license, up to 3 Macs. Version 1.0.4 is a universal binary, a 1.4 MB download, that idles at 0% CPU between refreshes.
