About
THE WORLD'S GREATEST ART ON YOUR DESKTOP
Wake up to Monet. Work alongside Van Gogh. Wind down with Hokusai. Spice automatically cycles your Mac's wallpaper through curated masterpieces and stunning photography, delivering fresh inspiration to your display every day.
Designed for professionals, artists, and minimalists, Spice is a refined focus tool that elevates your workspace without distracting from it. Built natively and optimized for Apple Silicon, it operates silently in your Menu Bar, ensuring zero impact on your battery life and preserving your system's performance.
BEYOND STANDARD BACKGROUNDS Connect directly to the cultural heritage of humanity. Cycle through ancient artifacts, Renaissance paintings, and modern design archives from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Rijksmuseum, and the Cleveland Museum of Art.
YOUR CURATED ROTATION Blend world-class museum collections with handpicked, high-resolution photography from Wallhaven, Pexels, and Wikimedia Commons. Prefer your own collection? Point Spice to your local Mac folders or link your Google Photos library. As you discover new masterpieces, save them to your Favorites to build a gallery that is uniquely yours.
