In the app you can adjust the colours, trails, drag and trail length. It runs natively on your Mac, drawn live in real time – no video, never quite the same twice.

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