Hey Product Hunters! Here's my initial thought: Every Mac comes with desktop background image. The pre-set one used to display wild animals, space and volcano. Now it's mountains. I kinda like them, but still - it seems to me like wasted space that could be used in slightly more meaningful way. I'm collecting stories about the way how poeple are using the app and it's really great - there are café owners who run publicly accessible computers in their spots and have their café's website on desktop, there's a broker who use Desktopr as wall with financial data, Desktopr is used on trade shows, bloggers are monitoring new comments using the app, there are geeks with random wikipedia article on the desktop etc. What are your thoughts and website you'd like to put on your desktop background?

Quick GIF preview of how Desktopr actually works:

Desktopr is simple way to extend your desktop with any content. Using Desktopr you can set any website, social network, movie or other content as your desktop background. Imagine your Facebook, Gmail, Twitter or favorite blog or magazine as a background of your desktop. You can switch currently showed content from desktop level to front anytime from menu bar and start browsing immediately. What's your thought in this guys?

Great idea! Would love to use for managing todo list and calendar events etc... Would be easy to build a local page that grabs all this stuff via API's. Like GeekTool but way easier and more modern! I just tested out with our software and I can't use the login form. Is there anything we need to do is support for input fields coming soon?

I just bought the app. It's really great, but there's one problem, I can't access private pages because I'm unable to login. Is there a way to fix this?

That icon is a beaute ;)

I've actually been waiting for this for years, much better than the e-ink alternative I was willing to settle for!

Great work! Excellent idea. Perfect for dashboard statistics to be in front of you constantly. I am noticing that even though the "Shows" checkbox has been unchecked on the three default items that you bundled, that they still show up, although not at the appropriate interval :) - May be related to the fact I've got several spaces open with a few full-screen apps.

New update: Desktopr now supports multiple displays

I've been trying to use this app well for over a year @Mira. I love the concept and execution, but it doesn't work reliably for me in Sierra. I essentially just want it to load newsmap.jp ... and if I uninstall everything, it does for a short while but eventually breaks, and now clearing out all sites, putting any other site...just doesn't seem to load anything, where can I get support? This is just a nitpick, but it also drives me crazy that the app doesn't respect keyboard shortcuts, like closing the window with command+W or being able to copy paste into the website url fields... Again, I love the concept and app, I want to use it. I run it on a media center, so I'm not interested in displaying my social media, but things like news, interested conversation pieces, cool visuals.

Is this app supported anymore? I wish I could get it working on High Sierra or Mojave...but it just isn't reliable. Is there an alternative?

Dear @mirapod, Desktopr seems very interesting and I would love to try it out. However, it is not available in my country (Sweden) — any plans on making that happen?

Is it possible to have a changing desktop feed from a site like https://alpha.wallhaven.cc/ ? I've been wanting to build something like this but maybe your product can or could do this.

The link to product website is - http://www.desktopr.link/

is it just a screenshot of the site or can you actually interact with the background?

Tried to download it. App store says it's not available in Canada. Ended up downloading "Plash" instead.
