Tic-Tac-Toe FAQ

How do I set Tic-Tac-Toe as my screensaver on a Mac?

Install SCRNSVRS free from the Mac App Store, select Tic-Tac-Toe 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 Tic-Tac-Toe as a live wallpaper?

Yes. Click Set as Wallpaper in SCRNSVRS and Tic-Tac-Toe plays on your desktop behind your windows and icons. You can use it as screensaver and wallpaper at the same time.

Is Tic-Tac-Toe free?

Yes. Tic-Tac-Toe is Free Forever in SCRNSVRS – no account, no ads, no subscription.

Is Tic-Tac-Toe a video loop?

No. Tic-Tac-Toe 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 Tic-Tac-Toe 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 Tic-Tac-Toe costs next to nothing in everyday use.

Which Macs does Tic-Tac-Toe run on?

Tic-Tac-Toe needs macOS Tahoe 26 or later.
