For one display and a small collection, Windows’ built-in background options may already be enough. MiraFolio is designed for the next level of complexity: mixed landscape and portrait monitors, different resolutions, and local wallpaper libraries that grow from dozens of files to thousands or more. The Windows version is not a mobile interface moved onto the desktop; it is organized around displays, folders and long-running rotation.
Give every display its own wallpaper rhythm
MiraFolio shows connected monitors in one visual layout. Select a display to manage its source and behavior without forcing the same setup onto every screen. A landscape main display can use scenery while a portrait display uses posters or portraits. Disconnecting one monitor does not stop the others.
- Choose a separate local folder for every display.
- Set an independent interval, playback order and enabled state.
- Choose orientation matching and fullscreen pause per monitor.
- Configure new or returning displays as soon as Windows detects them.
Large local libraries without the same wait every launch
As a collection grows, repeatedly opening every file to inspect it becomes the real cost. MiraFolio indexes folders in background batches and caches image dimensions. After the initial scan, later launches can reuse that information for orientation and resolution filtering.

Random rotation can still complete a full pass
MiraFolio maintains a rotation queue instead of repeatedly picking from the whole folder. No-repeat shuffle shows every eligible image before reshuffling. Sequential and reverse-sequential modes are available when order matters.
- Prefer landscape images for landscape displays and portrait images for portrait displays.
- Skip images below a configurable minimum size.
- Persist rotation state so the current queue can continue after restart.
Pause only the screen that needs to stay quiet
When a game, presentation or video is fullscreen, MiraFolio can pause rotation on that display alone. Other monitors continue on schedule, keeping the desktop active without disturbing the task in front of you.
Dismiss a wallpaper without breaking your workflow
Rotation also becomes a way to review a collection. Desktop and notification-area controls keep the common actions nearby.
- Move immediately to the next wallpaper.
- Reveal the current image in File Explorer.
- Remove it from future rotation without deleting the source file.
- Review or restore it from Recycle Bin; permanent deletion requires confirmation.
Local-first, with boundaries you can verify
The Windows version runs locally without a MiraFolio account, cloud dependency, analytics or wallpaper uploads. Images, settings, indexes and logs remain on the PC. The app is free and its source is published under the MIT License.
Who is MiraFolio for Windows for?
The goal is not simply to change wallpapers more often. It is to keep the change manageable over time.
Use the built-in option
You have one display, a small set of images and only need periodic background changes.
Choose MiraFolio
You have multiple or mixed-orientation displays, a large local library, or want fullscreen awareness and curation while viewing.
Get started in four steps
MiraFolio 1.0.0 is publicly available. It can remain in the notification area and optionally start with Windows.
- Download MiraFolio-1.0.0-win-x64-portable.zip from the official GitHub Release.
- Extract the ZIP to a permanent folder and run MiraFolio.exe.
- Select a display and choose its folder, interval and playback order.
- Enable rotation, then repeat the setup for any other display you want to customize.
Highlights: Windows
Choose a folder, interval and playback order for each monitor, then let a local-first desktop app keep the whole setup in motion.
- Independent control per monitor: Assign a different folder, interval, playback order and enabled state to every connected display.
- Built for very large local libraries: Folders are indexed in the background and image dimensions are cached so later launches do not reread every file.
- Smarter choices for each screen: Match landscape images to landscape displays, portrait images to portrait displays and skip files that are too small.
- Pause around fullscreen work and play: Stop rotation on an individual display while a game, presentation or video is fullscreen, without interrupting the others.
- Everyday controls stay close: Change, reveal or dismiss the current wallpaper from the desktop overlay or notification area, and start MiraFolio with Windows.
- Dismiss now, restore later: Remove an image from future rotation without deleting its source file, then review or restore it from Recycle Bin.
