A new look for every holiday

Six themes that change much more than colours. The theme of the current season is always free, and it switches by itself as the holidays come.

Halloween

Pumpkin lights, spider webs, glowing jack-o'-lanterns and a fluttering bat.

Christmas

A twinkling Christmas tree, presents and garlands.

New Year

Star lights, champagne and fireworks.

Valentine's Day

Heart lights and floating hearts.

Easter

Egg lights, a basket of painted eggs and a hopping chick.

Winter

Snowflake lights, icicles and a snowman.

Mac screens

One theme per screen: Halloween, Christmas, Winter, New Year, Valentine's Day and Easter, on a real macOS desktop.

Lights on your menu bar and Dock

Twinkling string lights hang right below your menu bar and line up along your Dock. Push them with your mouse and watch them swing.

127 desktop pets

Reindeer, penguins, black cats, ghosts, puppies, bunnies, dinosaurs, unicorns and many more walk, crawl, fly and swim above your Dock.

  • They take naps, jump around and show a heart when you point at them.
  • Pick your favourites.
  • Choose how many there are and how fast they move.

Snow that parts for your pointer

Gentle snowfall with adjustable intensity drifts away from your cursor as you work.

Sparkles

Add magical floating sparkles over the desktop.

Real weather

Turn on Weather mode and snow appears when it is really snowing where you are, using Apple WeatherKit.

Lights that dance to music

Lights pulse with the sound around you. Audio is analysed on your Mac and never recorded.

Headphones keep their quality

With Bluetooth headphones connected, the Mac's built-in microphone is used for the music mode, so your headphones keep full sound quality.
