Plash
Plash uses websites as dynamic desktop wallpapers on macOS, including pages such as news sites or other web content.
About Plash
Plash is a Mac app that turns a website into the macOS desktop wallpaper. You can point it at a remote or local page — a calendar, a dashboard, a photo-of-the-day page, or an animated GIF — and add several websites to switch between. Enabling Browsing Mode lets you click around in the page, and settings cover custom CSS and JavaScript injection, custom reload intervals, and choosing which display shows the site. One website is shown at a time, and multiple-display support is currently limited to picking the display.
Key features
- Display a remote or local website as the desktop wallpaper
- Browsing Mode allows clicking and interacting with the page
- Add several websites and switch between them
- Automatically reload the website at a custom interval
- Add custom CSS and JavaScript, with screen width/height URL placeholders
- Choose the display, invert colors, lower opacity, mute audio
Best for: Mac users who want live web content such as a calendar, dashboard, or photo feed sitting behind their desktop icons.
Good for
- Custom CSS and JavaScript allow tailoring the page, including scroll position and partial-screen layouts

Plash FAQ
Can Plash switch websites automatically every 10 minutes?
Plash can be automated with the built-in Shortcuts app, for example using the "Switch to Next Website" action. Shortcuts automations cannot run at an interval, so you would use the Shortery app to run the shortcut every 10 minutes.
Does Plash support multiple displays?
Support for multiple displays is currently limited to choosing which display shows the website. Setting a separate website for each display is planned, and there is a workaround.
Can Plash display multiple websites at the same time?
No. Plash only shows one website at a time.
