Punch it. Thousands of stars streak past as your Mac jumps to warp speed – the original space screensaver, reimagined.
The original idle-screen voyage through space. Thousands of stars stream out of the centre of your display and stretch into warp streaks as they rush past.
Tune the star density, flight speed, colour temperature and the amount of warp – from a calm drift to full hyperspace. Built natively in Swift and Metal for smooth, efficient animation on every Mac display.

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