Description

Spend your day around the world with this collection of timelapse wallpapers and screen savers. Supports latest macOS & M1/M2.
3K/4K/5K display? Get Magic Window 4K.

Magic Window brings your desktop to life with beautiful slow moving timelapse views for your wallpaper and screen saver. The app includes 305 views of coasts, beaches, cities, mountains, lakes, and more. Watch as time and light slowly paint the skies beautiful colors and cities transform from day to night and back again.

Created by the same team that brought you Magic Window for iPad and iPhone, this is a new style of desktop wallpaper made using timelapse photography. The wallpapers slowly blend over time revealing magical changes in scenery and color. The goal is to create slow and subtle movement that does not distract from work.

The speed of the wallpaper can be changed from slowest where movement is not visible to fastest where movement is subtle and noticeable. Depending on if you prefer more static wallpaper or "live" wallpaper you can adjust this setting to conform to your tastes. Most views were filmed over hours and capture complete sky transitions.

Not for 27" Displays! But I wish!

The desktops in this app are made for display resolutions of 1920x1200. This means that anyone with a 27" imac or a 27" cinema display can't take advantage of the full resolution of their screens! The 27" displays have a resolution of 2560x1440, so using this app produces grainy/pixelated looking wallpapers.

Other things to mention, the "lifeguard tower" wallpaper needs some work. You can see ghosted images of people that look like they were removed from the photos using photoshop.

Also, just like any application that overlays a wallpaper with video, it does not handle things like mission control, launchpad, and spaces well, transitions briefly flicker your original wallpaper. This isn't something the developer should be criticized for, as it is expected behavior - but rather something that prospective buyers should be aware of in advance.

I wouldn't suggest that the developer updates all of the wallpapers to support a higher resolution (because you can't go higher resolution than the original photos), but why not have a few listed as additional downloads? Help those of us that have 27" screens and paid for your app!

The app itself is an awesome idea, and is well implemented, but unfortunately I won't be using it because of how it appears on my 27" screen :(

Spectacular, beautiful, perfect, amazing service!

I just adore this app. The images are spectacular. The time lapses are mesmerizing. My husband and I often stop what we're doing to admire a given image. The developers are great the best! If I have a question, they answer within MINUTES. They give you great background info on each of their spectacular shots, and they are constantly adding to their collection of images (and thus, yours)! I run this app on my MacBook Pro, and I run the new 4K version (even more breathtaking) on my iMac! You won’t be sorry! An incredible investment. The BEST APP! Worth every penny!!!

Thank you!!

FLAWLESS

I find that every scene is of the same perfect quality as all of the others. I love all of them. I am forever impressed at the amount of talent and work that went into this app compared to the incredibly low cost, it never ceases to amaze me. I often find myself lost in just watching the images in awesome admiration. I'm more than thankful that they add to the collection regularly. I'm hypnotized by the time lapses. If you (or I) have a question on ANYTHING, the developers answer quickly and until you are fully satisfied with the answer. You just can't lose.
