Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Gavin, the maker — an indie founder. I love going to museums and just looking at paintings. I was inspired by those YouTube videos that animate classic artworks with AI, and the talking portraits in the Harry Potter movies, so I built this app: it generates new animated artwork every night, in styles from across history and cultures (Renaissance, Ukiyo-e, Art Nouveau, etc.). I considered making a wallpaper app, but animated art would be too distracting as a wallpaper, so I built a screensaver instead.
An agent generates the pieces every night, then reviews its own output and re-rolls anything that looks bad. That keeps the quality up without me hand-checking every night.
The free version includes many artworks already; a small subscription unlocks the full collection and funds the generation (yes — generating a fresh video every night genuinely adds up).
Would love your honest, even brutal, feedback. And I'd most like to know:
would you actually keep this running on your Mac? And if you wouldn't pay for it, what's missing? "It's not for me" is a totally useful answer too.

honestly this sounds really cool for like background vibes while you work, but it would be great if you could pick specific artists or styles you actually want to see more of, basically a curated playlist option so it doesn't just throw random stuff at you
