A soft dot hops from target to target every couple of seconds so your eyes can practise quick, easy jumps without moving your head, then settles in the middle while you rest for a few breaths.
A soft dot hops from target to target every couple of seconds so your eyes can practise quick, easy jumps without moving your head, then settles in the middle while you rest for a few breaths.
In the app you can choose the colours, the number of targets, the seconds per step and how long each stepping round lasts before a rest. It runs natively on your Mac, drawn live in real time – no video, never quite the same twice.

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