Desktop Composer features


Create profiles for your macOS aesthetic

Why spend ten minutes clicking through menus when you could be working? This app captures everything, from your wallpaper and Dock position to your Terminal and Xcode themes. It even handles Tahoe’s new folder colors and widget styles. Save your favorite “workspace outfits” once, then swap your entire environment whenever you need a change of pace.


Automate your workspace transitions

Your Mac should know when it’s time to shift gears. You can schedule profiles for specific times or link them directly to Focus modes. For example, your “Coding” profile can activate the moment you start a deep work session, while your “Meeting” profile can hide your messy desktop icons and widgets the moment you start a screen share.


Define exactly what never changes

Is there a specific setting you want to keep permanent? You can disable options selectively, either globally or per profile, which gives you total control over what the app modifies. This allows you to keep your favorite configurations locked in while the rest of the look evolves.


Carry your setups across devices

Your hard-earned setups shouldn’t be trapped on just one machine. Everything stays synced via iCloud, so your MacBook and iMac always feel consistent. For added security, the app also creates local backups of your profiles. Now, your ideal workspace follows you wherever you go, safe and ready for your next project.

    App version: 1.0

    This has the beginnings of a great app - I just wish it wouldn’t have to stay open and in my dock all the time. That alone will keep me from using it for now

    Thanks! That will be possible to change in the upcoming update

    App version: 1.0

    The app is pretty nice and could be useful, but there are two things that need improvement: support for wallpapers on multiple monitors, and the ability to hide the dock icon. It would also be great if you could set Night Shift and True Tone within profiles.

    I've just release an update that allows to hide the Dock icon. Regarding Night Shift and True Tone, I'm afraid that changing these options won't be possible. Multiple monitors - that's scheduled for future update
