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