About BackDrop
The desktop can be useful without becoming busy.
BackDrop is a native Mac app by RUKN. Bring your calendar, weather, notes and other daily information into your wallpaper, with manual controls for keeping your Mac and display awake.
Why it exists
Less opening.
Less checking.
More in view.
Your wallpaper should still feel like yours
Choose one of twelve built-in designs, your own image or a solid colour. Built-in artwork can follow the Islamic month or stay on the design you select.
Built for the Mac
Configure up to three active displays independently. Preview your wallpaper changes, then apply them to the selected display. Personal calendar events come from the Apple calendars you choose.
Made to fit your day
Choose what matters to you.
Calendar context you choose
Choose Islamic, Christian, Jewish or Public / Cultural calendar context. Islamic context includes Hijri dates and prayer times; the other options bring their relevant dates and occasions into view.
Awake, on your terms
Start a manual Awake session for a duration, until a date and time, until power disconnects, or until you stop it. Session controls are separate from the optional status shown on your wallpaper.
Clear about its sources
Weather and some calendar features use external services. Christian calendar dates are calculated locally. See Sources & Credits for the providers and photography used in BackDrop’s previews.
