Hi folks! Excited to share Wallcat with the Product Hunt community! Wallcat is a simple app that automatically updates you Mac's desktop to a new a new beautiful image every day. If you've had the same stale image, are still rocking a default Apple background, or are simply looking to keep your computer feeling fresh, feel to check out Wallcat. I'm the sole developer / designer on Wallcat, happy to answer any questions!

@dustin I noticed this doesn't seem to change all the desktops (at least in El Capitan), just the first one (or whatever was the active one when I launched the app). Is this within your control?

@joostschuur unfortunately I haven't been able to find an API from Apple that exposes this. I have another approach in mind that may do the trick. Thanks for the feedback, when I solve this problem, it'll absolutely be in Wallcat <3

@dustin beautiful! I wonder if there will ever be a day where gifs can be wallpapers.

@dustin A few suggestions: (1) If there are multiple monitors, have an option to load a different image on each. Seeing the same thing on both monitors is a little odd. (2) Have a refresh command/hotkey that will pick a different image, in case you don't like the current one. (3) Have an option to change the image on a user-defined schedule, like the Desktop preferences pane. No reason users should have to go backwards in functionality from what Apple provides, just because they're getting images from an outside source.
