Marketing site for MacWall: download pricing Stripe checkout and license activation at macwall.app

Ship #3

Redesigned the homepage and site UI

  • New hero, navbar, category strip and License pop-up.
  • Features shown as rows, an Apple-style footer, and new 404 and error pages.
  • New app icon everywhere (favicons, email logo) and a new social share image.
  • New hero app video in 1080p, slowed down.
  • Redesigned pricing page that says “one-time payment”.
  • Install guide with animations, shown after you download.
  • New help center with topic cards, search, and help inside the ⌘K command menu.

Moved the whole site from Vercel to Cloudflare Workers

  • macwall.app now runs on Cloudflare; Vercel is kept only as a backup.
  • I connected the domains, moved the scheduled jobs (cron) over, set up caching for the landing pages, and fixed visitor country/IP detection on Cloudflare.
  • Before the move I cut Vercel costs: videos served from R2, longer caching, lighter images, smaller 404 pages.

Phone visitors

  • On a phone, “Send to my Mac” emails you the download link instead of downloading a Mac file.
  • “Set on Mac” opens the app directly through a macwall:// link.

Wallpaper gallery and search traffic

  • 45 wallpaper collections, more detailed wallpaper pages, and guides written to answer questions directly.
  • Gallery sorted by most liked, with a “Download free” button and a sticky bar at the bottom.
  • Faster loading: static gallery pages, lighter images, and full-size wallpaper files no longer served.

what did you make?

macwall.app - the website for my macos live wallpaper app. download the free app buy pro with stripe and activate with a deep link. also pricing blog submit wallpapers and affiliates.

what was challenging?

getting checkout right.
stripe → license email → macwall://activate had a lot of edge cases. india pricing and the reel refund flow took a few rewrites. keeping price copy in sync with real stripe prices was annoying.

what are you proud of?

it is live and people can actually use it. one click download one click checkout and the app unlocks. the site feels like a real product not a template.

what should people know so they can test?

open https://macwall.app hit download for macos (or grab the dmg on the github release). you need macos 26. browse pricing if you want to see permanent annual and reel refund. free try works without paying.

I built MacWall because I wanted live wallpapers on Mac that feel native not an Electron wrapper eating battery. The Swift app is the product. This repo is the storefront: marketing, Stripe checkout, license activation, downloads, blog, community submit, and admin tools.
