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