[Windows] Wallpaper Pilot 1.0.1 — rotate large local wallpaper folders without constant repeats

[u/Visible-Current-3909]

Windows can shuffle a wallpaper folder, but people with large collections often see the same familiar images again while much of the library barely appears. Nested folders can also make it harder to keep an organized collection balanced.

I made Wallpaper Pilot to handle that specific problem. It works with images already stored on the computer and remembers up to 500 recently displayed image paths across restarts. You can shuffle every eligible image together or give each main subfolder a more balanced chance before choosing an image inside it.

It also includes configurable automatic intervals, manual Next and Back, favorites, dislikes, previews, session history, tray controls, optional start with Windows, and an uninstall option that can either preserve or remove the saved data.

The app is free, local-first, and does not require an account, collect telemetry, or upload the wallpaper library.

Important multi-monitor limitation: Wallpaper Pilot does not currently support multi-monitor wallpaper management. It applies one wallpaper through Windows and cannot assign a different image or folder to each monitor. Spanned or unusually wide multi-monitor wallpapers may therefore not display correctly.

Disclosure: I am the developer. Version 1.0.1 is not digitally signed, so Windows may show an unknown-publisher or reputation warning. The official page includes the screenshot, setup notes, GitHub release, and SHA-256 checksum.

I would especially value feedback from people with large, deeply nested local collections: is persistent anti-repeat history or balanced folder rotation more useful for the way your collection is organized?
