A curated collection of generative art for your Mac – performed live, in real time
Written in code, performed live on your Mac.
100 free every month, picked at random from the whole catalogue.
Every piece written in code and performed live on your Mac – from timekeepers and retro classics to generative abstracts and music visualisers
Explore the collectionsThe app
A screensaver, a live wallpaper and a menu bar mini app – native, quiet, and out of the way until you look up
A live billboard, rows by category and a heart for your favorites – every tile is a real frame from the scene
Speed, colours, density and more for every screensaver – the live preview follows as you tweak
Start the screensaver, skip a scene or pause the wallpaper – without opening a window
Any scene runs behind your windows – and pauses the moment it's covered, so your battery doesn't pay for it
Flip cards, the time in words, orbiting hands and a radar sweep – always on time
Starfield, Polygons and demoscene classics like Vector Balls – rebuilt from scratch in Metal
Sky Road, Go, Checkers, Snake and more – every game plays itself
Bauhaus, De Stijl, Suprematism and quilt blocks – geometric art, always in motion
Impossible triangles, café walls and rings that turn though they never move
Galaxies, gas giants, solar flares and Earth at night – the universe, live on your desk
Written in Swift and Metal. It slows down on battery and stops completely when nobody can see it.
No account needed and no ads. Usage stats only if you opt in. Your screensavers stay on your Mac.
