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

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