In the app you can choose the colours and grid size, and set how far the lines can stretch. It runs natively on your Mac, drawn live in real time – no video, never quite the same twice.

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