What it can do

  • Choose the night, from the first to the eighth.
  • Light the candles with one click and watch the flames flicker.
  • Drag it anywhere on your desktop.
  • Seven sizes, from tiny to very large.
  • Keep it on the desktop under your windows, or on top of all windows. “Pin” keeps it on the desktop even when you click the wallpaper.
  • Hide it to the 🕎 icon — in the menu bar on a Mac, in the notification area on Windows — and bring it back from there.
  • App languages: English, Hebrew and Russian.
  • It starts when you sign in to your computer; you can turn this off in the 🕎 menu.

Requirements

macOS
macOS 13 Ventura or later. The app is built for Intel Macs; on Macs with Apple silicon (M1 and newer) it runs through Rosetta 2, which macOS offers to install.
Windows
Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit.

How to install

macOS
Open the downloaded DMG and drag the app to Applications. In Applications it is called “Хануккия”. The app is not from the App Store and is not notarized by Apple, so the first time macOS may say it can’t check the app. Then open System Settings → Privacy & Security and click “Open Anyway”.
Windows
Run the installer: it installs the app for your user account and adds a desktop shortcut “MargoStory Hanukkiah”. The installer is not code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen may show “Windows protected your PC” — click “More info”, then “Run anyway”.
