Flow.
An AI that reads the weather, the season, and the time of day, and shifts your scenes to match. Set it once — the view keeps pace with the world outside.
Same desk. A whole new place.
Tayu brings quiet motion, natural sound, and time-aware ambience to the desktop you already use every day.
Features
Made for the small pauses in your day.
Scenes that change. Sounds that match. Schedules that follow your day — and a pause when you need one.
YouTube as wallpaper.
Lofi streams, ASMR rooms, walking tours, rain sounds — the YouTube videos you keep coming back to, now on your desktop.
Playlists.
Add scenes from Tayu's library or any saved YouTube video. Build a playlist for any time of day.
Scheduled scenes.
Design your day's rhythm. Focus in the morning, a stream at lunch, fire at dusk — scenes that arrive exactly when you planned them.
Ambient sound.
Birds, rain, fire, wind — every scene comes with its own sound. The small thing that turns a wallpaper into a place.
Overlay mode.
Schedule gentle full-screen breaks — or turn an idle Mac into a window of scenery.
Library
Scenes worth staring at.
Curated 4K scenes — water, forest, fire, sky.

Questions before you start?
What do I get for free?
The full 4K scene library with ambient sound, overlay mode, one playlist, and up to five saved YouTube videos — free forever, no account needed. Pro removes the limits and adds scheduled scenes and Flow.
Will it drain my battery?
Minimal. Tayu pauses video or switches to a still image the moment you unplug — and even when running, playback is tuned to stay light on your machine.
Can I use any YouTube video as my wallpaper?
Yes. Save a video's URL in Tayu and it plays as your desktop wallpaper — lofi rooms, rain, fireplaces, walking tours, whatever you keep coming back to. Slow, stable videos work best.
Does Tayu need an internet connection?
Only for YouTube wallpapers and downloading new scenes. Once a scene is on your device, it plays fully offline.
Where is my data stored?
Your wallpapers, playlists, schedules, and saved URLs stay on your device — playback happens locally. The full details are in our Privacy Policy.
Is Tayu available for Windows?
Not yet — Tayu runs on macOS (Apple Silicon, macOS 13+) today, and a Windows version is on the way. Pick Windows in the download menu to get notified the moment it ships.
How do I cancel or get a refund?
Cancel anytime from the Tayu app (Settings → Manage plan & billing) — your access stays active until the current billing period ends. Yearly starts with a 14-day free trial, so you are only charged if you keep it. Lifetime purchases come with a 14-day money-back guarantee — just email us.
