Soft fields of colour drifting slowly into one another.
The calm, expensive-looking gradient you know from product launches – except it moves. Soft blobs of colour drift and melt into one another, endlessly.
Choose a palette, how soft the edges are and how fast it drifts.

Liquid Gradient FAQ
How do I set Liquid Gradient as my screensaver on a Mac?
Install SCRNSVRS free from the Mac App Store, select Liquid Gradient in the library and click Set as Screensaver. macOS starts it whenever your Mac is idle, exactly like a built-in screensaver.
Can I use Liquid Gradient as a live wallpaper?
Yes. Click Set as Wallpaper in SCRNSVRS and Liquid Gradient plays on your desktop behind your windows and icons. You can use it as screensaver and wallpaper at the same time.
Is Liquid Gradient free?
Liquid Gradient is included in SCRNSVRS Unlimited. It's free for your first 7 days; after that Unlimited is $1.99/month or $9.99/year (€1.99/month or €9.99/year) for every screensaver, including new ones. It can also come up in Free this month, when 25 premium screensavers are free for everyone.
Is Liquid Gradient a video loop?
No. Liquid Gradient 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 Liquid Gradient 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 Liquid Gradient costs next to nothing in everyday use.
Which Macs does Liquid Gradient run on?
Liquid Gradient needs macOS Tahoe 26 or later.
