Classic Starfield FAQ
How do I set Classic Starfield as my screensaver on a Mac?

Can I use Classic Starfield as a live wallpaper?

Is Classic Starfield free?
Yes. Classic Starfield is Free Forever in SCRNSVRS – no account, no ads, no subscription.
Is Classic Starfield a video loop?
No. Classic Starfield 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 Classic Starfield 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 Classic Starfield costs next to nothing in everyday use.
