This is a data-entry request against the doesitarm list: add Backspace: macOS Live Wallpapers under the Video and Motion Tools category. The submission already supplies everything needed — app name, product page https://www.backspacemac.app, the Sparkle feed, stable release 1.1.4, minimum macOS 14.6, and the verified SHA-256 3385834c937af4c3b5f8e5ddf235466282196d8eb92f9ccb8698b80df8903a72 plus universal-binary (x86_64 + arm64) confirmation. Find the existing app entry list in the repo, copy the shape of a neighbouring entry, and fill it in; done means the entry renders on the site with native Apple Silicon support and a working link.
