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

Noise Slices FAQ

How do I set Noise Slices as my screensaver on a Mac?

Install SCRNSVRS free from the Mac App Store, select Noise Slices 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 Noise Slices as a live wallpaper?

Yes. Click Set as Wallpaper in SCRNSVRS and Noise Slices plays on your desktop behind your windows and icons. You can use it as screensaver and wallpaper at the same time.

Is Noise Slices free?

Noise Slices 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 Noise Slices a video loop?

No. Noise Slices 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 Noise Slices 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 Noise Slices costs next to nothing in everyday use.

Which Macs does Noise Slices run on?

Noise Slices needs macOS Tahoe 26 or later.
