Motion Desktop 1.2

Live desktop backgrounds for Mac, made from your media.

Turn your videos and photos into a living backdrop for your Mac. Motion Desktop plays scenes behind desktop icons and windows, without movie controls getting in the way.

Make your desktop your own
Build a playlist from your own media or browse Koingo’s Media Archive. Choose a quiet scene for your workday, revisit a favourite trip, or let the scenery surprise you.

  • Pictures and videos: Mix supported movies and still images in the same playback queue.
  • Pan and zoom: Add gentle movement to still photos.
  • Flexible playback: Play movies once, repeat them, or set a loop count or duration for individual items.
  • Scene transitions: Use adjustable crossfades to blend one scene into the next.
  • Background music: Create a separate music queue for each set, with independent volume and fades between tracks.
  • Queue sets: Save separate collections of pictures, videos, music, and folders for different moods.
  • Media Archive: Browse Koingo collections and add individual scenes or whole collections to your queue.
  • Menu bar controls: Start, pause, or stop playback and jump to the current scene in your queue.
  • Offline playback: Use local files and available downloaded media when offline.
  • Playback preferences: Choose display fit, shuffle, photo timing, captions, and whether animation pauses on battery power.

Choose your scenes and bring a little more atmosphere to your Mac desktop.

Frequently asked questions

How do I install the app?

Mount the image, drag the app into the "Applications" folder and launch it. If the system blocks the launch, allow it in "System Settings → Privacy & Security".

The app is damaged or won't launch

Reinstalling from a fresh image usually helps. Make sure your macOS version matches the one listed in the compatibility specs.

How do I update?

Download the new version from the site and install it over the current one — your settings will be preserved.

The download link doesn't work

Try a mirror or a download manager. For large files the browser often drops the connection.

How do I completely remove the app?

Use an uninstaller utility — it cleans up the service files that remain after moving the app to the trash.
