Bing Desktop Mac

A status bar application for macOS which looks for the latest background on the Bing homepage, downloads it and sets it as the wallpaper for your Mac. Supports macOS 10.8+ (tested on macOS 10.11-13). Currently development is still ongoing, but will upload the app when confident in it.

Not in any way intended to infringe Microsoft's or Bing's property.
