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

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