It’s easy to lose track of time when you’re working all day in front of your Mac. Before you know it, it’s the end of the day. With Dynamic Desktop, your Mac’s desktop picture adjusts accordingly with the time of day, so you have a better idea of how the day is going.
As of the first version of the macOS Mojave pubic beta, there’s only one desktop image you can use as a Dynamic Desktop. We’ll probably see more images become available as the officially Mojave release date approaches.
