**Response to @sindresorhus:**
The downside of B and C is that you would not be able to easily mute the sound since they use a separate volume.

**RT @sindresorhus:**
For a macOS app that plays an hourly chime (sound), what behavior would you want?
A: Follow system volume, but have settings slider to adjust relative volume (meaning, you can, for example, have it 20% less than the system volume)
B: Follow "Alert volume" setting in "System…

**RT @sindresorhus:**
Why is this ridiculous and completely useless? 99% of apps use UserDefaults to store some state, like whether it’s the first launch. It’s privacy theatre at its finest. Bad actors can simply store it in a file or database instead.

What happened to Unsplash?...
They just removed their free non-API endpoint, and looking at the API guidelines, they don't allow automated usage (for example, Shortcuts) nor any kind of competition or wallpaper app.
Any better alternatives?
