Upon installation, LoopPaper will ask you a few questions to tailor the experience to your needs:

album_name): Enter the exact name of your preferred photo album (e.g., My Wallpapers). - Wallpaper Location: Choose whether to update the Lock Screen, Home Screen, or both.
- Readability Blur: Toggle whether you want the Home Screen to be blurred.

💡 Pro Tip: To keep the shortcut from pausing on its own in the background, try creating an automation that triggers whenever a specific Focus is turned on.
