Dynaper

Create your own dynamic desktop wallpaper (time-shifting/solar-shifting/light&dark) on macOS Mojave & Catalina & Big Sur. Full- support of wide-gamut colors for photographers.

 

Dynaper makes it easy to create a native time/solar-shifting/light&dark HEIC wallpaper that changes throughout the day. Wallpapers made by Dynaper are supported by macOS Mojave & Catalina & Big Sur and can be set as wallpaper in System Preferences.

 

Simply drag & drop your images and change the display time for each image. Dynaper will change time automatically if the image contains EXIF metadata or contains a time suffix in the filename. For a quick time change using the autosuggest feature. For solar-shifting wallpaper run Solar Wizard where you can export it.

 

Dragging an image out of Dynaper will create a time-shifting text that contains normalized time and parameters that one can use for manual HEIC creation.

 

Helper tools :

• time helper (convert time to normalized time)

• solar helper (convert location to solar data: altitude and azimuth)

• solar wizard (convert many locations to solar data: altitude and azimuth)

• HEIC metadata (view HEIC metadata used for wallpaper display)

• Create Light and Dark Wallpaper (wallpaper that automatically adapts to appearance change)

• strip still images helper (removes Dark/Light appearance metadata from dynamic wallpaper image)

 

Solar Wizard is accessible from the top menu (Utilities-> Solar Wizard).

 

Automatic Time Detector :

To save your time Dynaper automatically recognizes timestamps in your filename or metadata. If your filename doesn’t have a valid time Dynaper will look at EXIF metadata (date of creation) to find a valid time. Just append your filename with suffix HH_mm, where “H” represents the hour and “m” represents the minute.

The 24-hour format is being used for detection and the last 5 characters of the filename are being checked.

 

Example of valid filenames :
