Private by design

Your desktop is personal.

Images and calendar details stay local

Your selected images and Apple Calendar event details are processed on your Mac. Christian calendar dates are calculated locally too.

No account, advertising or social feed

Your desktop, without a BackDrop account, ads or a social feed.

Clear sources for weather and calendar context

Weather comes from Apple. Islamic prayer times and Hijri data use AlAdhan; Jewish calendar data comes from Hebcal. Public holidays use your selected Apple Calendar or OpenHolidays, depending on the source you choose.
