Let’s face it. The default wallpapers on the Mac gets boring after a few weeks. And setting new wallpaper manually is tiresome.

What’s more, granted there is no shortage of “HD wallpapers” websites anywhere on the internet, at the same time the ever-growing demand for more has also given rise to a bevy of unusable, flat-out lousy offers.

So where to turn to for quality material?

Well you’ll be happy to know that there are awesome apps that deliver hand curated, spectacular art right to your desktop background every day or so.

To do the topic full justice and cover all the bases, we have decided to break the winner down into separate brackets: standard HD wallpapers, Live Photo wallpapers and 3D wallpapers for animated backdrops. With that, please navigate our list according to your preference and enjoy your new wallpaper choice.

Best HD wallpaper app for Mac: Wallpaper Wizard 2

This Wallpaper Wizard is acquired by MacPaw and has been updated to version 2. It’s developed to give your Mac’s display changing, fresh looks from a curated collection of hand-picked HD, Retina-compatible photos.

I toppled across this great tool a little while ago and was flabbergasted seeing how efficiently this works.

Let’s see why this app has been stuck in my mind…

Design

My first thoughts of Wallpaper Wizard 2 was that it was not going to have an elegant interface… boy they proved me wrong. Just the website alone grasped my attention. All of the screenshots, features, and the collection of wallpapers being shown was completely amazing!

When you download and install the application, you’ll see a beautiful and elegant main interface. It is not cluttered with extra icons, here you’ll be approached with a simple “App Store” style catalog of numerous thumbnails of background collections.

Features

We are often used to great applications with great features: but personalizing the computer can also be an important task and we do not always have the time to dive among endless web pages to find what we are looking for. Wallpaper Wizard 2 offers different options to get it easily.

Explore tab – This is the biggest selling point of Wallpaper Wizard… the gallery. This might surprise you, the developer handpicked more than 25,000 of 4K HD retina-compatible wallpapers that divided by themes and moods into collections. And naturally, every wallpaper in the app is of excellent quality and visual appeal.
When the developer team sent us the review request, they mentioned their source of those great gallery collection.
We have several sources: websites with CC0 images (unsplash, pixabay), personal connections with authors and also we’ve partnered with depositphotos.com so part of the content is licensed from them.
Wallpaper Wizard gives several possibilities to find a collection matching your mood. You can either scroll through the Explore tab and check what’s in a catchy collection or use search by tags or keywords.
Roll tab – Once you have selected a bunch of wallpaper categoriesand added to the Roll, you can set the app to start rotating them every 5, 15, 30 or 60 minutes, every day or every time you wake your Mac from sleep. If you have multiple displays, it can be set to either display the same wallpaper on both displays or pick a different one for each. If you don’t like a wallpaper that is currently displayed, the menu bar icon gives you the option to remove it from your queue.
Favorites tab – I’m so glad to see the Favorites into play in Wallpaper Wizard. The tab is a home for your most precious wallpapers. Every time you click on the star button , a collection or picture it belongs to moves to Favorites, where you can easily find the Wallpaper you like.

Pricing

The Wizard Wallpaper app is available at the official website for $9.99 and is compatible with all Macs running Mac OS X 10.11 or later. It’s also available via Setapp, a $9.99 monthly subscription service.

A word of sum up

I’m really loving Wallpaper Wizard. It comes with simple yet elegant interface, and with some interesting options: multi-monitor support, creation of own collections and grouping of content by themes.

If you’re looking for some variety in your day, pick up a copy of Wallpaper Wizard 2. You can also check everything out before making a purchase, this software product gives you 7 days of free trial.

Best live wallpaper app for Mac: Live Desktop

If you’re bored of that still image for your desktop wallpaper, Live Desktop is a Mac app that gives you a selection of animated themes to choose from.

Interface

Like in the case of many applications of this sort, after Live Desktop has finished installing on your Mac, it can be easily accessed from OS X’s status bar by clicking its item.

Themes

With twenty-four official themes and an ever-expanding assortment of custom themes, Live Wallpaper offers an array of high-res images and animations to liven up your Mac screen.

Live Desktop is a customizable wallpaper app with loads of official themes that keep increasing as the user community adds more. Users can then import custom themes, which can be downloaded here. Each theme has a unique layout, clock, text, and weather forecast.

The app also includes highlight features such as edit mode and multiple monitor support. You can change the position of the time, clock, or text to any position. And if you use multiple monitors, you can choose to display different themes for each display.

Price

Live Desktop is available in Mac App Store for free, but comes $14.99 in-app purchase. It looks as though the developer will continue to pump resources into the app, meaning that the $14.99 outlay should get you a Mac app that will periodically get new themes and experiences added to it.

A word of note

Sure, live wallpapers can provide some pleasing eye-candy, but do them eat up battery? Yes, they do. But given that most of the apps are so optimized and battery friendly, a live wallpaper wouldn’t be a burden on your battery, CPU and performance of your Mac.

Best 3D wallpaper app for Mac: Earth 3D

Earth 3D is a cool app we recently discovered in the Mac App Store. It is a combination of 3D Screensaver and Live Wallpaper, you can launch app in a full screen and use as 3D screen saver or launch in a small window and enable Live Wallpaper mode and app periodically will generate a new wallpaper.

Earth 3D gives you live wallpapers and screensavers of the earth, with details of buildings, airplanes, and more. It shows you over 2,600 geographic objects, over 500 wonders of the world, a real=life night sky, a day/night cycle with city lights, and a whole lot more. The graphics are high-quality 3D, with HD textures for 1080p and up, and it supports Apple’s Retina displays. There’s also an interactive mode where you can click and drag to explore the planet.

Pricing

You can buy Earth 3D on the Mac App Store for US$2.99.

Other wallpaper app options

There were a lot of other great wallpaper apps that we considered when writing this review, but none of them quite measured up to our top picks. Still, they definitely have unique features that deserve a mention.

Irvue For Mac

Previously called Unsplash Wallpaper, it’s nice to see this Irvue app pulls desktop wallpaper photos from the Unsplash.com — a website with a ton of beautiful & free stock photos collection — and set
