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

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