The live wallpaper for Mac
A desktop
that comes alive.
SlateKit turns your wallpaper into slow, glowing color that drifts all day behind your icons, on every screen. It looks stunning and stays out of your way. What you see here is the real thing, running live.
Make it yours
Your colors, your vibe.
Start from a look you like, then drag a few sliders and watch it change instantly. Try it right here. In the app, your favorite looks are saved and ready whenever you want a fresh feel.
Always on, never in the way
A little life behind every window.
SlateKit is your wallpaper, not a window in front of it. It sits quietly behind your icons and apps, adding a bit of calm motion to every glance at your screen, then gets out of the way the moment you start working.
Why you will love it
Gorgeous, light, and out of your way.
SlateKit does one thing and does it beautifully. It feels like a natural part of your Mac, not another app fighting for your attention, so you get all the beauty and none of the fuss.

- Smooth
Buttery on every Mac.
The motion is generated live and stays silky smooth, with no chunky video loop and no huge file eating your disk. It just looks good, all the time.
- Tidy
No clutter, no window to manage.
Everything lives behind one small icon in your menu bar. Settings, looks, pause, and quit are a single click away, and that is the whole thing.
- Battery
Easy on your battery.
SlateKit slows down when you unplug and pauses completely when it is fully covered, so it sips power while you work and never gets in the way of your day.
- Effortless
Ready the moment you log in.
Set it once and it is simply there every morning, already moving, already the look you love. Nothing to open, nothing to remember.
- Seamless
Beautiful in every corner of macOS.
SlateKit keeps a matching still for your desktop picture, so waking your Mac and switching between Spaces always looks clean and intentional.
- Private
Yours and only yours.
SlateKit stays entirely on your Mac and never talks to the internet. Your colors and looks belong to you, and nothing ever leaves your machine.
The app itself
Simple, friendly, and one click away.
Open SlateKit from the menu bar and the whole look is yours to play with. Pick a style, choose your colors, nudge the motion, and watch the live preview react to every change.
