Aurora
Design your own wallpapersVersion 1.0
The first release of Aurora. Design wallpapers of your own on Mac, iPhone and iPad, in light and dark.
Styles
- Ten styles: Folds, Peaks, Glow, Bloom, Silk, Contours, Petals, Prism, Cloudscape and Rays, each with presets you can use as they are.
- Surprise Me picks a style, a composition and colours in one go.
- Light and dark, together. Every wallpaper comes as a matched pair.
Studio
- Shape, Colours, Mood and Composition. Every style has its own shape controls, and one pad sets the mood: across for the hue, up and down for airy or deep.
- Five palettes for each style, each with a light set and a dark set. Shuffle Colours makes a new matched pair.
- Variations. Eight takes on the wallpaper you have open, and eight more around the one you choose.
- See it where it will live, behind a menu bar and Dock on a Mac, or the Lock Screen clock on iPhone and iPad.
Using a wallpaper
- On a Mac, Set as Desktop Picture applies it to every display and follows the system appearance.
- On iPhone and iPad, Save to Photos adds a light picture and a dark one, ready to choose in Settings.
- Solar wallpapers on Mac. One design, lit for every part of the day, that macOS moves through with the sun.
- A new one every day. On a Mac, Change Desktop Picture puts up a new wallpaper every hour or every day. In Shortcuts, Get Aurora Wallpaper can make a new Lock Screen each morning.
Sizes and export
- Made For starts as the device in your hand, with any other size up to 8K.
- 10-bit HEIC or 16-bit PNG, in Display P3, drawn fresh at the size you ask for.
Collections
- Keep the ones worth keeping, grouped however suits you.
- Pass one on. An Aurora file gives someone the designs themselves, ready to change.
- Private iCloud sync of collections and the wallpapers in them.
Across your devices
- Built for each platform. A proper Mac app with every shortcut in its menus, and layouts for iPhone Duo closed, partly folded and fully open.
- Drawn on your device. Nothing is downloaded and nothing is generated by a service; Aurora works without a connection.
