Maybe you, like me, have countless online wallpaper apps on your phone, but still prefer to use those wallpapers saved locally. However, as files pile up, it becomes not only inconvenient to manage but also clutters up the gallery app. So, why not treat these local wallpapers as a dedicated wallpaper app to manage them? That's exactly what Peristyle was designed for.
When you first launch Peristyle, you need to select the folder where your wallpapers are stored. So, how does Peristyle isolate these wallpapers from the media library? The answer lies in the ".nomedia" file. Peristyle cleverly uses this system feature to prevent the media library from scanning, thus keeping these wallpapers from showing up in the system gallery. Of course, we can still access and manage these files directly through a file manager.
Peristyle offers more than just that. When we want to use an image with many elements, it might look too cluttered as a home screen wallpaper. However, Peristyle lets us edit the image before setting it as wallpaper, adjusting brightness, sharpness, hue, and blur. Generally, adjusting the blur and brightness is enough to meet most wallpaper needs.
Additionally, Peristyle supports random wallpaper selection, automatic wallpaper switching, and even switching wallpapers through a home screen widget. Unfortunately, Peristyle currently only supports selecting one folder and does not yet support multiple folder selections.
