In the app you can set the breaths per minute and colours, and show the in and out cues. It runs natively on your Mac, drawn live in real time – no video, never quite the same twice.

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