Progressive relaxation, one area at a time: a ring tightens while you gently tense, then opens wide as you let go – hands, arms, shoulders, face, all the way down.
Progressive relaxation, one area at a time: a ring tightens while you gently tense, then opens wide as you let go – hands, arms, shoulders, face, all the way down.
In the app you can adjust the seconds to tense and seconds to relax. It runs natively on your Mac, drawn live in real time – no video, never quite the same twice.

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