Feature Description

I’d like the app to have an option to automatically switch wallpaper folders based on the time of day and day of the week. This feature would allow users to, for example, show wallpapers from a “WORK” folder during work hours and from a “NON-WORK” folder after hours. It would help keep sensitive or personal wallpapers hidden during working times.

Describe the Solution

Add a scheduling system that allows users to define rules for when different wallpaper folders should be active.

Describe Alternatives

(If the full scheduling feature (time and date based) isn’t possible, it would still be great to have a home screen widget that lets users manually switch which wallpaper folder is active for example, a simple toggle between “WORK” and “NON-WORK” folders.)

Additional Context

Example:

  • At 08:00, switch to the WORK folder.
  • At 16:00, switch to the NON-WORK folder.
  • Optionally, disable work rules during weekends so only NON-WORK wallpapers are used.

UI idea:
When setting rules, the user can configure:

  • Event:
    • Selectable days: Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun
    • Time: (e.g., 08:00)
  • Action:
    • Dropdown: “Switch to folder → [WORK / NON-WORK / Custom]”

Even if this feature doesn’t make it into the app, I really appreciate the consideration.
The app is already excellent and very well-made thank you for all the work you’ve put into it! 🙏
