MeridianA live wallpaper and desktop scene for Windows 10 and 11Free
Meridian turns your screen into a window onto the sky at this exact moment. A hand-tuned palette moves continuously through first light, golden hour, blue hour and deep night; the sun rises and sets on its real arc and gives way to the moon; a field of stars and a faint Milky Way fade in as the sky darkens. An editorial time readout names the phase of the day. Launch it fullscreen, or let it take over when you step away.
What it does
- Real-time sky — sun and moon arc by the actual clock
- Continuous all-day palette: first light through deep night
- Generative stars, Milky Way and sun-tinted clouds
- Editorial clock, date and phase-of-day readout
- Respects Reduce Motion; pauses when hidden
Where it runs
