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