In the app you can adjust the colours, sigil every (s) and glow. It runs natively on your Mac, drawn live in real time – no video, never quite the same twice.

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