In the app you can adjust the paper, ink, draw speed, cells across and fold depth. It runs natively on your Mac, drawn live in real time – no video, never quite the same twice.

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