More than a year after the launch of the Panels app, MKBHD has now announced that he will be ending the wallpaper download app he introduced last year. The app called Panels will be completely discontinued on December 31, 2025.
Panels was previously launched in September 2024, but was criticized by many due to its high subscription price, just for downloading wallpaper. When it was introduced, it was offered at a price of RM61 per month, but then a month later, it was updated to RM8.99 per month.
However, now the application is being discontinued. MKBHD said that they failed to develop it as they dreamed, making them choose to completely terminate it. Moving forward, the application development code will be offered in open source form by January 4, 2026, allowing anyone interested in developing on it.
All user data will also be completely deleted by that date. MKBHD informed that all images that are ready to be downloaded can be kept by users forever.
