EarthDesk Review by
5.0/5

The Earth seen from space is quite a spectacular image that has always fascinated humankind. EarthDesk is a macOS Preferences pane that displays a real-time representation of the Earth’s surface right on your desktop.

EarthDesk is a System Preferences Pane which means that it comes with a built-in installation system: all you have to do is double click on the .prefPane file. Note that, by default, EarthDesk does not start by default: within the pane, you get to make various adjustments and then manually start or stop the rendering.

EarthDesk offers you the possibility to customize the rendition by switching between different maps, projection types, and so on.

It comes with 4 image types (Natural Color, Political, Shaded Relief, or Living Earth Satellite), allows you to see the areas that are under dark, enables you to switch between various map projections, to change the map center, or the update frequency.

EarthDesk can render real-time satellite cloud images, the location of the space station, and the position of the Sun and Moon. The best part is that you can create various presets and toggle between various settings with a simple mouse click.

EarthDesk is able to render an Earth representation as seen from space and give a remarkable look to your Mac’s desktop without using too much of your resources. The app is able to display data in real time, can switch between various image types and map projections, and much more.
