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