A field of metal pins pushes the time out in relief under a low light, long shadows trailing behind the digits; each minute a soft wave runs through and the pins reshape.

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