Transparent washes of colour spread over textured paper and pool darker at their edges, until a wetter patch flows back into each and pushes out a frilled cauliflower bloom.

In the app you can adjust the colours, wetness, washes and paper texture. It runs natively on your Mac, drawn live in real time – no video, never quite the same twice.

Watercolour Bloom FAQ
How do I set Watercolour Bloom as my screensaver on a Mac?
Install SCRNSVRS free from the Mac App Store, select Watercolour Bloom 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 Watercolour Bloom as a live wallpaper?
Yes. Click Set as Wallpaper in SCRNSVRS and Watercolour Bloom plays on your desktop behind your windows and icons. You can use it as screensaver and wallpaper at the same time.
Is Watercolour Bloom free?
Watercolour Bloom 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 Watercolour Bloom a video loop?
No. Watercolour Bloom 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 Watercolour Bloom 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 Watercolour Bloom costs next to nothing in everyday use.
Which Macs does Watercolour Bloom run on?
Watercolour Bloom needs macOS Tahoe 26 or later.
