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