A single warm point of light to rest your eyes on, its halo breathing slowly, with a quiet reminder now and then to blink and let thoughts pass.
A single warm point of light to rest your eyes on, its halo breathing slowly, with a quiet reminder now and then to blink and let thoughts pass.
In the app you can adjust the halo breath. It runs natively on your Mac, drawn live in real time – no video, never quite the same twice.

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