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