Words that hide other words: the letters lift, swap places along gentle arcs and land as something new – listen becomes silent, the eyes become they see.

Anagrams FAQ

How do I set Anagrams as my screensaver on a Mac?

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

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

Is Anagrams free?

Anagrams 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 Anagrams a video loop?

No. Anagrams 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 Anagrams 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 Anagrams costs next to nothing in everyday use.

Which Macs does Anagrams run on?

Anagrams needs macOS Tahoe 26 or later.
