For fans of simple, elegant desktop wallpapers on the Mac, make sure to check out the newly-released Simple Desktops app in the Mac App Store.

Based off the simpledesktops.com website, the Simple Desktops app for the Mac sits in the menubar and allows you to easily cycle through wallpapers featured on the site.

“Subtle and simple, the entire app lives in the menubar, so there’s no need for any fussy management. It shows the latest five desktops and gives attribution to the artists who created them.”

Like the theme of the wallpapers themselves, the Simple Desktops app is dead simple to use. The main draw is that you can easily cycle through wallpapers with a few, simple keystrokes.

The menubar app’s preferences let you automatically cycle through wallpapers at certain time intervals, and the last five wallpapers to be featured on the site are displayed in the app’s dropdown window for quick selection.

Simple Desktops for Mac is available for $3.99 in the Mac App Store.
