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