John's Background Switcher

macOS / Style de vie

John's Background Switcher puts beautiful full-screen photos and stunning montages on your desktop. Choose the photos from your own collection on your Mac or websites like Flickr, Unsplash, Pixabay, SmugMug, Vladstudio and many more besides. You'll never know what's coming next - maybe photos from a recent holiday, landscapes from far and distant lands, pictures of small kittens or equally small dogs. If you're having a tough day, just take a look at your desktop and John's Background Switcher will get you through it!

Main features include:
• Show single photos or a variety of randomly generated beautiful montages on your desktop
• Choose photos from folders on your Mac or from the Photos app (with full support for iCloud photos)
• Rich Flickr, Unsplash, SmugMug, Pixabay, Vladstudio, Pinterest, Pexels, Wallhaven, Dropbox and OneDrive (personal) integration
• Media RSS photo feeds (so you can use a great many more photo sites)
• Multiple monitor support (show the same background all monitors, different pictures on each monitor or only on one monitor)
• Switching intervals from every 10 seconds to 7 days
• A variety of post processing effects like grayscale, sepia and desaturation
• Lots of new features in the works for future versions (I have a list as long as your arm!)

Once set up JBS quietly runs in the background changing your desktop and stays out of your way. If you don't love it, tell me what you'd like it to do from the support link and I'll add it as soon as I can! And remember, I'm a real person called John so be nice. :)

Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?

This version contains the following changes (and I'm particularly sad about the end of Google Photos integration):

• Added 'recent photos' to the Apple Photos integration
• Removed Google Photos integration (the API shuts down March 31st unfortunately)
• Added support for JXL and Canon CR3 images
• Changed the share menu item to use the latest user interface
• Changed the code that detects an internet connection to remove deprecated functionality
