Glass Bubbles FAQ

How do I set Glass Bubbles as my screensaver on a Mac?

Install SCRNSVRS free from the Mac App Store, select Glass Bubbles 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 Glass Bubbles as a live wallpaper?

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

Is Glass Bubbles free?

Yes. Glass Bubbles is Free Forever in SCRNSVRS – no account, no ads, no subscription.

Is Glass Bubbles a video loop?

No. Glass Bubbles 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 Glass Bubbles 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 Glass Bubbles costs next to nothing in everyday use.

Which Macs does Glass Bubbles run on?

Glass Bubbles needs macOS Tahoe 26 or later.
