About Equinox
Equinox is a macOS app for creating dynamic desktop wallpapers, which change over the day or with the system appearance. The homepage describes it as free. It offers three wallpaper types: Solar, which changes based on the sun's position; Time, which changes at times the user chooses; and Appearance, which switches between a light-mode image and a dark-mode image. Solar wallpapers use solar calculations, and the user selects a location for them. Wallpapers are created locally, and the homepage says the desktop can be set right after creation.
The Appearance type requires two separate images, one for light mode and one for dark mode. Solar wallpapers depend on the location the user selects. The homepage lists downloads on the Mac App Store and GitHub, and pricing is not stated beyond the free description.
