# Menu Bar Wallpaper Controls on Mac

Pause, resume, and switch live wallpapers right from the Mac menu bar with MacWall, no floating windows and no clutter on your desktop.

The best Mac apps stay out of your way. **MacWall** runs from the menu bar: pause before a Zoom call, resume after, switch wallpapers without opening the main window.

## Available controls

- Pause / resume / stop playback
- Quick access to current wallpaper
- Open main window for catalog browsing
- Status indicator when running in background
