Description

[Equinox](https://equinoxmac.com) is an app that lets you create macOS-native dynamic wallpapers. Starting with macOS Mojave, macOS supports wallpaper types like Dynamic Desktop and Light & Dark Desktop.

With Equinox, you can create these wallpapers in seconds: choose a type, drag and drop your images, and export your wallpaper.

Features

There are three types of wallpapers you can create:

• [Solar](#solar-wallpaper)
• [Time](#time-wallpaper)
• [Appearance](#appearance-wallpaper)

Solar wallpaper

• This wallpaper type takes the sun’s position into account. Depending on the time of year, you’ll see the most appropriate image on your desktop.
• No need to calculate sun positions manually — with the [Solar calculator](#solar-calculator), you only need to know where and when the photo was taken.

Time wallpaper

• Time-based wallpapers change throughout the day according to the schedule you define.

Appearance wallpaper

• This type is as simple as it sounds: the wallpaper changes based on the system appearance (Light/Dark Mode).
• You only need two images: one for Light Mode and one for Dark Mode.

Solar calculator

The Solar calculator helps you determine the sun’s position in the sky.

• Choose the place, date, and time on the Sun timeline for when the photo was taken.

If you don’t know the exact time, use the timeline to estimate the sun’s height and match it to your photos.

• Drag and drop (or copy) the result onto your image.
