For Mac · Live weather

Your wallpaper
follows your day.

Chronoscape shows one real place at the same hour and weather you’re actually having, then keeps it in step as your day moves on.

One place · five moments

Watch one place
travel through the day.

Each scene is captured at five moments between sunup and sundown. As your morning turns to afternoon and dusk gives way to dark, the light on your desktop moves right along with it.

Live conditions

When the weather turns,
so does your desktop.

Chronoscape checks the live forecast for your city and shows the version of your scene that fits the moment. Clear skies, low cloud, steady rain, fresh snow. Tap through them below and see for yourself.

The collection

A few places worth
staring at.

Every scene is a real place, shot across five times of day and four kinds of weather. That is twenty versions of each one, and your Mac always lands on the right version for the moment.

The small print

It looks after
itself.

Real sunrise, real sunset

Chronoscape uses the actual sun times for your location, so every change lands at exactly the right moment.

Weather that keeps up

It reads the current forecast for your city and quietly swaps in the matching scene.

One per screen

Give every monitor its own scene, sharp on Retina and ultrawide alike.

Mix it up on a timer

Want a bit more variety? Let Chronoscape rotate through the scenes you love every fifteen minutes or every hour, and each one still shows the right time of day.

Easy on your Mac

Built natively for macOS. It lives in the menu bar, sips battery, and stays out of your way.
