A radar beam sweeps clockwise over faint range rings, revealing drifting rain cells from green to amber only where it passes, each pass fading slowly until the next.

In the app you can choose the colours and storminess, and set how long each sweep takes. It runs natively on your Mac, drawn live in real time – no video, never quite the same twice.

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