Dynamic Tahoe Wallpapers
From dawn to dusk, macOS Tahoe’s shoreline follows your day.
As the Apple betas near their final release, it's not uncommon for Apple to update their wallpaper offerings ahead of launch. And in the latest betas for macOS Tahoe, Apple did just that, adding a slew of absolutely gorgeous Aerial wallpapers. Additionally, they updated their Tahoe lakeside wallpaper with dawn, dusk, and nighttime variations. The only catch? They didn't make them dynamic. That's where I stepped in.
These images came from the 4K videos Apple is including with macOS Tahoe. I upscaled them to fit a 5K display, adjusted the sharpness, and built two dynamic wallpaper options: a classic Day/Night version for Mac, and a time-of-day version that shifts through Dawn (06:00-10:00), Day (10:00-18:00), Dusk (17:00-21:00), and Night (21:00-06:00). I've also resized all four for iPad and iPhone. Enjoy!

Tip for best results: On Mac, go to System Settings → Wallpaper → Add Photo to set the dynamic wallpaper. Avoid setting it directly from the image preview or the menubar, as that sometimes won’t preserve its dynamic behaviour.
