About CAPlayground
CAPlayground is a web-based editor for creating animated wallpapers for iOS and iPadOS. It runs on a desktop computer and is built around Core Animation layers.
You can build wallpapers by combining different layer types, each with its own properties and animations. Types include basic color or shape layers, gradient layers with configurable colors and stops, image layers with scaling and masking, looping video layers, emitter layers for particle effects such as snow or confetti, transform layers for 3D perspective, replicator layers for repeating patterns, and liquid glass layers for refractive distortion. The editor also supports blending modes and filters. A wallpaper gallery lets you view example wallpapers and download creations shared by other users.
It suits iPhone and iPad owners who want to design their own animated wallpapers in a browser using layered editing.
