A wobbling closed loop leaves an echo of itself every moment, and the echoes drift upward into a flowing tube of fine lines while the camera circles.

In the app you can adjust the colours, echoes, wobble and camera orbit. It runs natively on your Mac, drawn live in real time – no video, never quite the same twice.

Echo Loops FAQ

How do I set Echo Loops as my screensaver on a Mac?

Can I use Echo Loops as a live wallpaper?

Yes. Click Set as Wallpaper in SCRNSVRS and Echo Loops plays on your desktop behind your windows and icons. You can use it as screensaver and wallpaper at the same time.

Is Echo Loops a video loop?

No. Echo Loops is rendered live on your Mac with Metal, so it never repeats and stays sharp on any display size. The clip on this page is a screen recording of the real thing.

Will Echo Loops slow down my Mac or drain the battery?

No. SCRNSVRS drops to 30 fps on battery and stops rendering when the wallpaper is covered by a full-screen app, so Echo Loops costs next to nothing in everyday use.
