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

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