Do you enjoy Windows Spotlight images on your lock screen?
Wouldn't it be great to have those same images on your desktop background?

The WinDesktop Spotlight application gets those images for you, stores them in a local folder which is synced, gives you the freedom to sort them, preview them, set them as desktop background ... 
You can set a scheduled task to daily change your desktop background and sync new images that Windows Spotlight downloads.

If you don't want to use main application - you don't have to, just set it once and you're done!
The Application will take care daily and make sure that you get new fresh images on the background.
Since all actions are run daily by Task Scheduler or when you start the app, your OS will not be clogged by background processes or services that run all the time. 




Main features :

  • Local folder Sync with Windows Spotlight folder
  • Sorts image files by their aspect ratios, 16:9 or 9:16
  • Allows you to favorite or blacklist images 
  • Allows you to set those images as backgrounds
  • Can change background and sync daily
  • Download new images and add them to the app
  • Use synced folder with any other app or even Windows itself

 

Win Desktop Spotlight is free and you can download it here. Version : 0.9.5
