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

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