In the app you can adjust the colours, lights and softness, keep one variation or get a new one every time, and choose how often it fades to the next. Nothing moves in between, so it uses almost no energy – one still image, drawn natively on your Mac at full resolution.

Lit Plane FAQ
How do I set Lit Plane as my screensaver on a Mac?
Install SCRNSVRS free from the Mac App Store, select Lit Plane 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 Lit Plane as a live wallpaper?
Yes. Click Set as Wallpaper in SCRNSVRS and Lit Plane plays on your desktop behind your windows and icons. You can use it as screensaver and wallpaper at the same time.
Is Lit Plane free?
Lit Plane 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 Lit Plane a video loop?
No. Lit Plane is drawn on your Mac with Metal at your display's full resolution, then holds still, so it stays sharp on any display size and uses almost no energy. The preview on this page is a capture of the real thing.
Will Lit Plane 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 Lit Plane costs next to nothing in everyday use.
Which Macs does Lit Plane run on?
Lit Plane needs macOS Tahoe 26 or later.
