This free app allows you to set any website as your Mac wallpaper. Take your Mac experience to the next level. The possibilities are endless.
Have you ever wanted your Mac wallpaper to be a bit more… dynamic? Plash is a free app that lets you set any website as your wallpaper, and you can even interact with it.
There’s a simple way to turn any YouTube video into a wallpaper on Windows. This is the Mac version of that trick, and you can use any website. There are several practical reasons why you might want to do this. For example, you might find that the macOS Sonoma widgets are not quite polished enough and maybe you’d prefer your whole desktop to be a giant Google Calendar. But let’s be honest for a moment: the real reason is that you can choose something really cool for your wallpaper.
To get started, download Plash from the Mac App Store or GitHub. The app resides in the menu bar. Click on the icon to set it up.

And that’s just a tiny fraction of your options. You have the whole web at your fingertips. Whatever way you decide to use this app, know that you can enable Browsing Mode from the menu bar if you need to interact with the site you’ve set as your wallpaper.
You can also, if you wish, set a custom CSS for any site, allowing you to change the background color to something transparent. There are a few examples on the discussion mentioned earlier, with the code and instructions for Google Calendar. This is the kind of app that you can spend a long time with.
