In the app you can choose the colours, the wave, the maximum number of terms and the speed. It runs natively on your Mac, drawn live in real time – no video, never quite the same twice.

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