Sinterklaas has just arrived and Christmas is approaching. Haven’t you taken the Christmas lights out of the attic yet? No problem, because with this app you give your Mac a Christmas-makeover.
Festivitas gives your Mac Christmas lights
As you know, there are apps for just about everything. Apps for writing texts. Programs to create presentations. Apps with AI let you work faster. In short: apps that are made to help you get through the working day better. Fortunately, life is not all about work and an app can also be fun every now and then.
For example, the new app Festivitas, which decorates your Mac with all kinds of Christmas lights. Whoa wait, what?! Yes, you read that right. All Festivitas does is hang Christmas lights on your Dock and menu bar. Completely useless? Absolute! Cool to see and worth it? For sure.
This is how Festivitas works
Using Festivitas is simple and wonderfully straightforward. After downloading and installing the app via www.festivitas.appFestivitas asks for access to macOS accessibility features upon first opening. This may sound a bit serious, but it’s necessary so that the app knows where your Dock is on your screen. This way you can hang a cheerful row of flashing Christmas lights right there. You can grant access via System Settings>Privacy & Security>Accessibility. You can also revoke access here if you want to restore your Mac to a quieter atmosphere after the holidays.
A feast for your eyes (and your mood)
Once everything is set up, the magic begins. Your Dock and menu bar are transformed into a true Christmas market. The colorful lights flash in a pleasant way, and if desired, you can even adjust the colors or the flashing pattern. Should the lights hang a little lower? Could the cable be a little thicker? You set it all up.
It may be a bit kitsch, but isn’t that part of the holidays? It’s almost impossible not to smile while trying to work amid all the festive antics.
Is Festivitas something for you?
Whether you are a Christmas lover who prefers to start decorating in September, or someone who is normally a bit cynical about all that Christmas nonsense: Festivitas knows how to put almost everyone in a festive mood. For the price of a cappuccino (€4) you can bring a good dose of Christmas cheer to your Mac. And let’s be honest, a little distraction doesn’t hurt during the dark winter months.
So, don’t wait any longer and give your Mac one Christmas-makeover. Who knows, that festive atmosphere might have a contagious effect on your productivity – or it might just give you a good excuse to stare at your screen a little longer.
