24 Hour Wallpaper


I don't see my desktop during my working moments, but when I lock my computer, I have a different wallpaper displayed on each of my monitors. I also have a Keyboard Maestro macro that runs when I unlock my computer and hides all open apps for privacy reasons in case someone is. standing behind me when I go back to work. For the past eight months, I've relied on 24 Hour Wallpaper from Jetson Creative to provide me with full 5K wallpapers with a variety of professional quality images.

The app changes the displayed image to reflect the sunlight conditions outdoors, although it can be offset if desired. There are 125 full-sized 5K images available so frequent repition is not a problem. I get a different image on each monitor, which is the default behavion, but it can be changed. I usually just let the images rotate using the default program settings but there are different categories to choose from for anyone who wants a specific type of photo including:

  • Artistic
  • Astronomy
  • Big Sur
  • Catalina Island
  • Cityscapes
  • Desertscapes
  • Fall Colors
  • Mojave Desert
  • Monterey Bay
  • Naturescapes
  • Ventura
  • Watercolor
  • Winterscapes
  • Yosemite


There is minimal CPU, GPU, and Battery use. Your computer only engages with the app when wallpaper is download or changing.

You can download 24 Hour Wallpaper for free on the App Store with three images included. More can be purchased through IAPs. The program and the entire catalog of images are available on Setapp.
