What it does
Chronoscape brings the outside world to your Mac desktop, changing your wallpaper to match the real-time light and weather at your location — one continuous scene rendered at five moments from sunrise to night. - Live weather (clear, cloudy, rain, snow) + real sunrise/sunset times - Full multi-monitor support, correctly cropped per screen - Native macOS menu bar app, minimal battery impact - Curated, expandable scene library Free starter collection.
