## About

MacScapes turns your Mac desktop into a living scene. Pick from 42 GPU-rendered scenes and 9 Living Stills (photos with gentle depth parallax), then tint everything with one of 48 palettes, or make your own from a photo.

Vibes bundle a background, desktop widgets and an ambient sound, so "Quiet Morning" or "Rainy Café" is one click. Schedules switch vibes at a set time, at sunrise or sunset, or when you go on battery, and the lock screen stays in sync.

Also included: 14 palette-tinted widgets in 3 sizes and 4 shapes, 70 folder icon patterns, 10 ambient sounds, a menu bar panel, global shortcuts, multiple displays, and photo or video backgrounds.

Free to use. MacScapes Pro is $19.99 once for up to 3 Macs. macOS 14 or later, Apple silicon and Intel, notarized by Apple.
