Thousands of dots roll downhill over a hidden landscape and gather in its valleys like marbles, streaming between them as the ground slowly morphs and the valleys merge and split.

In the app you can adjust the colours, landscape scale, morph speed and friction. It runs natively on your Mac, drawn live in real time – no video, never quite the same twice.

Basin Dots FAQ
How do I set Basin Dots as my screensaver on a Mac?
Install SCRNSVRS free from the Mac App Store, select Basin 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 Basin Dots as a live wallpaper?
Yes. Click Set as Wallpaper in SCRNSVRS and Basin Dots plays on your desktop behind your windows and icons. You can use it as screensaver and wallpaper at the same time.
Is Basin Dots free?
Basin Dots is included in SCRNSVRS Unlimited. It's free for your first 7 days; after that Unlimited is $1.99/month or $9.99/year (€1.99/month or €9.99/year) for every screensaver, including new ones. It can also come up in Free this month, when 25 premium screensavers are free for everyone.
Is Basin Dots a video loop?
No. Basin 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 Basin 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 Basin Dots costs next to nothing in everyday use.
Which Macs does Basin Dots run on?
Basin Dots needs macOS Tahoe 26 or later.
