Cosmo Desktop For Mac

Designed to provide quick access to the NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day collection, Cosmo Desktop is a minimalist status bar menu application for the Mac that allows you to view, download and use the images as your wallpaper.

However, the icon placed in the status bar by Cosmo Desktop will only provide access to the app’s main window. There you can browse the images thumbnails, view their names and the date on which the photo has been added to the collection.

Keep in mind that once you select a thumbnail, Cosmo Desktop will both launch the download process and send the photo to your desktop to replace your current wallpaper.

On the other hand, Cosmo Desktop does not include customization options: it will retain your settings and you must navigate to the System Preferences window to adjust the way in which the image is displayed.

Cosmo Desktop is a great application if you are an astronomy enthusiast and you want to have access to a collection of both interesting and high quality images.
