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