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

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