Thousands of random dots each have a twin nudged a little to one side, and out of the noise the eye builds rings, spirals and starbursts that are drawn nowhere, morphing slowly from one to the next.

In the app you can adjust the colours, dot rows, twin distance and centres. It runs natively on your Mac, drawn live in real time – no video, never quite the same twice.

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