In the app you can choose the colours, the number to start from, the seconds per number and the dimming. It runs natively on your Mac, drawn live in real time – no video, never quite the same twice.

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