The whole catalogue
Every Aerial film built into macOS, grouped by category.
Live wallpaper
for your Mac.
Your Mac already has the films. Skywall lets them play.
Download for macOSPick one and leave it running.
Cities, coastlines, kelp forests and the curve of the Earth, drifting behind whatever you are doing.
The ones you keep.
Mark a film and it collects here, one click away from becoming the wallpaper on every display.
It behaves like part of the system.
A small menu-bar app that plays the film in its own desktop-level layer on every display. No permissions to grant, no re-encoding, no telemetry.
One sky across every screen you have. Plug a monitor in or unplug it and Skywall rebuilds itself around the new arrangement.
Pause, switch the film, open the folder or quit — without opening a window.
One film, every screen.
Your screen saver, in two clicks
Only macOS may set its own wallpaper and screen saver, so Skywall offers to open that pane when you pick a film. Choose the same one there and every screen matches.
It steps aside
Nothing to set up — Skywall watches the Mac and backs off on its own.

Performance
Built the way a Mac app should be.
One small Swift binary that plays the film behind your windows and stays out of the way.
Swift and AppKit
No Electron, no web view, no third-party packages. The whole binary is 1.6 MB, universal, macOS 14 or later.
Hardware decoding
Frames go through AVFoundation to the same hardware decoder macOS uses for its own screen saver.
A tiny footprint
About 46 MB resident while a film plays.
Idle when it should be
Covered, locked, asleep or hot — playback stops. Low Power Mode pauses it too, or drops it to half rate if you prefer.
