Requires macOS 14 or newer on an Apple Silicon Mac.

Install

  1. Download Muro-1.0.dmg below, open it, and drag Muro into Applications.
  2. macOS blocks the first launch of self-signed apps: double-click Muro once and close the warning, then open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll to the message about Muro, and click Open Anyway. (On older macOS: right-click the app → Open → Open.)
  3. Open Explore, pick a wallpaper, and hit Apply. That's it.
