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