In the app you can adjust the colours, circle size, grid density and drift. It runs natively on your Mac, drawn live in real time – no video, never quite the same twice.

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