Moon live wallpapers for Mac
A full moon over still water, a blood moon behind a silhouette, clouds sliding across a crescent. Moon loops are dark, slow, and quiet, which makes them some of the easiest wallpapers to live with all day.

How to set a Moon live wallpaper on Mac
- Download MacWall and drag it to Applications. It runs on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs with macOS 15 or later.
- Pick any Moon wallpaper above to preview the loop, its resolution, and its length.
- Choose Set on Mac. MacWall opens that wallpaper and applies it to your desktop, on one display or all of them.
- Optional: with Pro on macOS 26 (Tahoe) or later, use the same loop on your Lock Screen and as a Screen Saver.
Why Moon wallpapers look better in MacWall
- Real video, not a GIF: loops play at full frame rate and up to 4K, decoded on Apple's media engine instead of the CPU.
- Battery-aware: playback pauses behind full-screen apps and when the display sleeps, and can pause in Low Power Mode or on low battery. See live wallpaper battery drain on Mac.
- Every display: sync one loop across monitors or give each screen its own wallpaper.
- One payment: try everything free for 24 hours; the full catalog then stays unlocked with a one-time $12.99 license, no subscription. See pricing.
