About

🚀 IN BETA — NEW THEME COLORS, REQUESTED FEATURES, AND MORE!
vToad turns your New Tab into a visual playground by letting you upload your own videos, GIFs, and images as live wallpapers. It has pleasing and satisfying UI while being customizable and made to feel personal — let the theme colors match your media automatically or set your own theme colors to make it yours!

(Brave, Opera & Opera GX users — please scroll to the bottom for setup notes and Opera video guide.)

I’m a solo dev who built this with love, based on feedback and feature requests from users like you. If you enjoy vToad, leaving a review or sharing it means the world. Thank you! 💚
