Dusk

Nothing on your desktop should sit still.

Wallpapers drawn live on your GPU instead of played from a file, so they move all day and never loop. The one behind this page is running right now.

The library

Pick one. This page becomes it.

Most of the library runs right here in your browser, on the same shaders the app compiles from the same source.

The app

Try it before you install it.

This is the real interface, not a picture of one. Pick a wallpaper, change its colour, drag a slider. Every control does exactly what it does on your Mac.

Every wallpaper carries its own Style controls, so no two are alike.

The facts

What it costs to run.

Under a megabyte
The whole app. There are no video files, because there is no video.
15, 30 or 60 fps
Your choice, per display. It sleeps in Low Power Mode without being asked.
No account
Nothing to sign up for, nothing to sign in to.
Nothing to sign in to
No accounts and no tracking. The App Store build talks to Apple only to handle a purchase; the direct download also checks for new wallpapers, and you can switch that off.
Every display
One wallpaper everywhere, or a different one on each screen.
Free to start
A set of wallpapers and every control cost nothing, on the App Store and here. Plus unlocks the rest for $9.99 once, including everything published later.
Dusk Plus

The free set never expires and every colour and motion control is free. Plus opens the rest, and everything published after it.

$9.99 once

  • Use it on every Mac you own
Buy Dusk Plus

Paid through Lemon Squeezy, who handle the receipt and any tax. You get a licence key by email; paste it into Dusk once and it keeps working offline. Buying inside the App Store version works the same way and restores on your other Macs automatically.
