There is a multitude of applications shown throughout the movie, which one are you referring to?
its called the river, it changed the background and opened a old chat app
In MacOS (ostensibly the operating system used in the movie) it's not possible to animate the desktop background (since MacOS Sonoma you actually can but it only moves on the lock screen and shows a static frame on the desktop), so presumably they faked it using video editing. On Windows it would be trivial to do with a third party app like Wallpaper Engine (paid) or Lively Wallpaper (free).
The chat is part of an existing application package called MBSE BBS. The overlay network used to connect to it without being able to be tracked resembles something like Tor.
In the fictional world of the movie where you can actually set a video as desktop background on MacOS, The River is relatively simple program that changes the wallpaper and fires up MBSE BSS, connecting over something similar to the Tor network.
