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