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