Magic Window 4K brings your desktop to life with relaxing slow moving timelapse views for your wallpaper and screen saver. The app includes 202 views of coasts, beaches, cities, mountains, lakes, and more. Watch as time and light slowly paint the skies beautiful colors and cities transform from day to night and back again. Created by the same team that brought you Magic Window for iPad and iPhone, this is a new style of desktop wallpaper made using timelapse photography. The wallpapers slowly blend over time revealing magical changes in scenery and color. The goal is to create slow and subtle movement that does not distract from work. The speed of the wallpaper can be changed from slowest where movement is not visible to fastest where movement is subtle and noticeable. Depending on if you prefer more static wallpaper or "live" wallpaper you can adjust this setting to conform to your tastes. Most views were filmed over hours and capture complete sky transitions.

Love it but...
Really love this app, but it desperately needs a search feature. Add that and this would be a 10 star app!!!!!!!!!! One more thing: give us the ability to remove any donwloads, even the ones that came already installed in the app, so we can have better control over the size of this app. Thank you!
Buyer Beware - you should know that...
time lapse desktops does not mean it will look like a video is playing. It runs extremely chopy on my aging but upgraded 2018 15" MacBook Pro wtih Excel running. I'm mean if you can really use any other apps while you run the thing, what's the point? I still miss the discontinued program My Living Desktop. The program seems stable otherwise, easy to use and many more options than I anticipated, which I like. For a user like me, I think I will be more happy with the 24 Hour Wallpaper program instead.
I wish it supported ultrawide resolutions/screensavers

what a great change of wallpapper
I just got this 4K magic window and really love it. Its beautiful to look at and its mesmerizing. Very pleased with this purchase! Jeff Cooper
Finally. Chicago.
A view of the skyline from over by the aquarium would be nice if you could get it.
My students loved it!
I had this on the classroom so often during the day that my students began to immediately recognize certain places. Imagine how brilliant they felt recognizing Paris by certain landmarks. It is a wonderful learning tool and generated many great comparisons with our own city and discussions.
favorite desktop app
I've been using this app for a long time now. My only complaint is that I apparently have no choice but to use it on both monitors. If I could change one thing this would be it. It'd get 5 stars otherwise. edit: I heard from the developer. it is possible to disable the display but it wasn't in a spot I had checked. i've updated the rating to 5 stars.
