Dots circling ring roads bunch up out of nothing into stop-and-go waves that creep slowly backwards against the traffic, the crawling dots glowing warm.

In the app you can adjust the colours, dots, reaction delay and ring size. It runs natively on your Mac, drawn live in real time – no video, never quite the same twice.

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