Question 1

How do I set up Muzei-macOS to use images from a specific subreddit?

Accepted Answer

The README states you can specify the subreddit in customization options. After installation, access the menu bar app to enter your preferred subreddit for automatic wallpaper updates from Reddit.

Question 2

Muzei-macOS vs other wallpaper apps like Wallcat or Irvue

Accepted Answer

Muzei-macOS is inspired by the Android Muzei app and focuses on art and Reddit/Unsplash integration, with unique features like blur and dim effects. However, it may lack advanced scheduling or multi-monitor support compared to some alternatives.

Question 3

Does Muzei-macOS support multiple monitors?

Accepted Answer

The README doesn't mention multi-monitor support. Based on its design as a menu bar app, it likely sets wallpapers for the primary display only, so users with multiple monitors might need to seek other solutions.

Question 4

How can I change how often Muzei-macOS updates the wallpaper?

Accepted Answer

The README doesn't detail update frequency controls. It probably updates daily for art or based on source feeds, but custom intervals aren't available without modifying the source code, which requires building with Xcode and cocoapods.

Question 5

Is Muzei-macOS still being maintained in 2024?

Accepted Answer

The GitHub project shows a last update in 2017, and while the App Store version might have updates, open-source development seems inactive, so it may not support the latest macOS features or bug fixes.

Question 6

Can I use my own images with Muzei-macOS?

Accepted Answer

No, Muzei-macOS is designed for online sources like art, Reddit, and Unsplash, as per the README. It doesn't support local image folders, so users wanting personal photos should look elsewhere.
