Almanak, Wallpapers that change with your day

A wallpaper for every hour of the day.

The studio's own wallpapers, made into living sets. Almanak shows a different variant at dawn, day, dusk and night, and the season's pack when it comes around.

Your wallpaper for tonight

Now

Almanak picks one set a day and the variant for this hour. You see it as a Lock Screen with the clock and a matching Home Screen, on the device you are holding.

Living sets

Every design comes as a set, from a city skyline in crimson, midnight and amber to three takes on a Halloween scene. Tap one for the Lock Screen and long press another for the Home Screen.

Twenty-five packs, from gradients and glass to fall in Pennsylvania and skylines with the windows on. New packs arrive every week, and what is new and in season sits on top.

Let it change on its own

Shortcuts, the Mac and Android

iPhone does not let apps change the wallpaper, so Almanak hands Shortcuts the right picture and walks you through a two-minute automation. On the Mac and on Android it changes the wallpaper itself, at dawn, day, dusk and night.
