A long loose coil hangs stretched under its own weight and is let go; in slow motion the bottom stays perfectly still in mid-air while the collapse races down from the top, then it lands and resets.
A long loose coil hangs stretched under its own weight and is let go; in slow motion the bottom stays perfectly still in mid-air while the collapse races down from the top, then it lands and resets.
In the app you can adjust the slow motion and coils. It runs natively on your Mac, drawn live in real time – no video, never quite the same twice.

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