Chromatic Aberration FAQ
How do I set Chromatic Aberration as my screensaver on a Mac?

Is Chromatic Aberration free?
Chromatic Aberration 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 Chromatic Aberration a video loop?
No. Chromatic Aberration 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 Chromatic Aberration 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 Chromatic Aberration costs next to nothing in everyday use.
