Hey, Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Oskar, a solo indie developer from Stockholm, Sweden, and the maker behind Mac apps like Sensei and Trim Enabler. I love my Mac, and love customising my desktop experience to make it more productive, creative or just personal. But I've been frustrated that while Apple added wallpapers that animate on the Lock Screen, they never let us use our own. So, I decided to build the solution myself. I'm super excited to launch Backdrop as the first and only app that lets you put
I got to beta-test the new lock screen feature and it's been an absolute delight to open my laptop to dancing frogs, falling leaves, or any number of cosy options.

Congrats on the launch. Really clean and cool landing page.
