In the app you can adjust the colours, text, typeface, flow speed and edge glow. It runs natively on your Mac, drawn live in real time – no video, never quite the same twice.

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