Real-time · Science · PremiumFree this month

An empty grid fills tile by tile, always where the fewest choices remain, so pipes, traces and arcs grow outwards and always fit.

In the app you can adjust the colours, tile set, rows and tiles per second. It runs natively on your Mac, drawn live in real time – no video, never quite the same twice.

Tile Collapse FAQ

How do I set Tile Collapse as my screensaver on a Mac?

Install SCRNSVRS free from the Mac App Store, select Tile Collapse 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 Tile Collapse as a live wallpaper?

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

Is Tile Collapse free?

Tile Collapse is included in SCRNSVRS Unlimited. It's free for your first 7 days; after that Unlimited is $1.99/month or $9.99/year (€1.99/month or €9.99/year) for every screensaver, including new ones. It can also come up in Free this month, when 25 premium screensavers are free for everyone.

Is Tile Collapse a video loop?

No. Tile Collapse 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 Tile Collapse 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 Tile Collapse costs next to nothing in everyday use.

Which Macs does Tile Collapse run on?

Tile Collapse needs macOS Tahoe 26 or later.
