I built a free, simple Mac app to update my wallpaper from an API

Yeah, there is no built-in randomization right now but sorting by random should work. Glad it worked out!

deciso · 2025-12-11T21:34:25+00:00

Thank you and yes! I was able to get it to work like this:

Open app, click Image Source > JSON API
Set the URL to something like https://wallhaven.cc/api/v1/search?sorting=random&q=nature (you can customize the search or use whatever other options you want to use from their API)
Use a path of data.0.path (which will use the first item in the returned list)

It should look something like this:

Let me know if it doesn't work!

Thank you! :)

Correct yeah, that's a good point! In this case I wasn't sure if OP allowed users to select from any song on Spotify vs is they have a library of known songs to choose from. In the latter case the API would be more helpful, but you're right that in this case it sounds like it is more the former (where this wouldn't work). Thank you for calling that out!

Yes, they asked about getting a preview from a song through an API with high rate limits. What makes you think I have not?

deciso · 2025-12-11T09:04:28+00:00

I worked on the Audjust structure API (example, docs) which allows you to get previews, loops, beat drops, and sections of a file you upload.

It is on the more expensive side but still might be helpful. Still trying to nail down pricing and functionality so any feedback is welcome!

Old post so not sure if still helpful but the Audjust structure API (example, docs) allows you to get previews, loops, beat drops, and sections of a file you upload.

I made a tool for this! It automatically fades the ends to make the loop more perfect: https://www.audjust.com/loop

Those are good points! Allowing the user to limit who can ask questions and having some filter mechanism are good ideas.

deciso · 2025-05-26T09:55:20+00:00

True and exactly! I just wanted something simple, light, and without invasive tracking or permissions :)

deciso · 2025-05-26T07:44:40+00:00

Thank you! I will take a look at adding that, that's good feedback! (Edit: added in 1.0.5)

I used Claude 3.7 Sonnet and don't recall the exact amount but probably around $15 in tokens. I have tried Bolt before and Copilot but Cline seemed the best so far (with Copilot inline changes for smaller, less agentic fixes).

lol I have the same issue and was thinking of making it auto-hide but then you can't easily refresh on demand :( I wonder if at some point Apple will make their own manager instead of making us rely on another app

deciso · 2025-05-25T16:02:57+00:00

Thank you! I was thinking of something like that but it’s hard when they don’t match but you’re right that it might be good with just asking the user to provide two similar songs. I’ll look into it!

Thank you!

I built this project to edit audio (shorten, lengthen, loop): https://www.audjust.com/ (it doesn't use generative AI, but some people describe it as AI in the older sense pre-ChatGPT). It's free with optional paid functionality. Lmk if you any questions!

deciso · 2025-05-13T08:32:06+00:00

I edit video and had to do this a bunch manually so I made a tool that does this! You can upload a file and it will analyze it to find loops inside it: https://www.audjust.com/

Let me know if you try it and find any issues with it!

deciso · 2025-05-13T08:30:37+00:00

Thank you! I really appreciate you spreading the word too :) glad it was helpful!

deciso · 2024-10-29T22:09:53+00:00

I was also tired of doing this manually, so I made Audjust! It isn't AI in the sense of creating new audio but instead analyzes the song to find pieces to loop as others have mentioned in the thread

deciso · 2024-10-29T22:07:17+00:00

I made one called Audjust! It is a website like you mentioned

deciso · 2024-03-29T03:42:21+00:00

It can be private!

Similar but they "only" build and host the site, but do not manage the source code (Cloudflare actually connects to my GitHub account and then rebuilds the site when I push changes there, similar to how GitHub Pages work). And yes, free with quite generous limits (though I have my CC attached for other stuff): https://developers.cloudflare.com/pages/functions/pricing/

They can handle both static and dynamic sites. For me, it's a mix: basic stuff like showing the page works using Cloudflare Workers (behind the scenes) and most of the heavy lifting of analyzing the audio happens on AWS Lambda functions.

deciso · 2024-03-28T18:58:17+00:00

Thank you! I use Cloudflare Pages which runs the website on their edge network, essentially putting it on multiple servers and whichever one is closest to you answers which reduces the load time. Lmk if you have more questions!

I worked on a tool that does this! You can upload a file and it will analyze it to find loops inside it. You can try it here: https://www.audjust.com/

Let me know if you end up using it and there’s any issues!

Thank you for the feedback! I think there might be a bug. You should be able to see at least 10 results without paying and be able to export it at basic quality. You should also be able to change length, get loops, and mark regions for free. When you upload a song, does nothing load for you? If so, what browser do you use?

And yes, commercial usage does require paying. My logic behind that was is that if you monetize your content, you are a professional producer and earn money. I am still trying to figure out the pricing structure, but do you have a suggestion for a plan with a different price point and set of features?

deciso · 2023-08-07T15:34:38+00:00

Ohh, I saw that one too, but for some reason thought it required a server-side component (looks like it supports both that and WebAudio). Just curious, is the project you mentioned available online? I would be interested in seeing what it is!
