Nobody has touched the mouse in ages, so the pointer has lain down for a nap – breathing slowly, the odd twitch, a trail of little z's.

In the app you can adjust the colours and seconds between z’s. It runs natively on your Mac, drawn live in real time – no video, never quite the same twice.

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