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