Personalize Mac appearance

From lock screen to desktop

From version to version, every macOS looks sleek in its own way. But you don’t have to stick to its standard appearance. Here are some tips that will help you customize the look of your Mac.

Making Mac truly yours 
Expand your selection of wallpapers 

From beautiful landscapes to Vision Pro-inspired to unique Generative AI pictures, 24 Hour Wallpaper covers over 100 trendy wallpapers. Pick one or mix them together. Wallpapers sync with your location and time of day.



 

Want more wallpaper goodness? Wallpaper Wizard brings 25K desktop pictures with anything, from animals and textures to nature and cityscapes.



Pin a calendar to your desktop

How do you make your wallpaper even more personal? Put your today’s plan on it! WallCal is a transparent calendar and to-do list that stays on your desktop at all times.



Wrap the essentials into desktop widgets

Want even more useful stuff on your desktop? Add custom widgets with WidgetWall. Ideas are endless: your favorite websites, social media (all browsable from the widget), pictures, Mac performance trackers, weather, calculator, you name it.



You can tweak the color of each widget and scroll through its content (handy for news or social media). That's something standard macOS Sonoma widgets don't offer!

Grab a new screensaver

Go beyond standard macOS screensavers and try something new with Magic Window Air. Browse hundreds of 4K aerial views and pick your favorite!



Want to personalize your screensaver? Add an overlay with your weather, location, timer, and even music. For this, go to Settings > Overlays.

Hope this how-to will help you solve tasks faster, and enjoy solving them, too! Check out more how-tos picked for you below.
