8 of 15this needs to get app of the year someday.
These are so fun to go through. I wish I could ♥️ my favorites, and scrub through the different screensavers a little bit faster. I also wish it had the option to keep the screen on (disable auto-sleep) How else am I supposed to save my screen? 😃
I remember going on my Windows 7 computer and checking out the screensavers, and this 90s-00s aesthetic art style for screen savers is amazing, considering there's so many! It almost made me want to cry I see a genuine app like this, Thank you!
I would like to express my profound gratitude to Jamie Zawinski for developing XScreenSaver. Your commitment to building an open-source screensaver software that is both reliable and aesthetically pleasing is remarkable. Your passion and dedication to the development of this useful and versatile software is inspiring. Thank you for all the hard work you've put into this project.<br/> Cordially yours,<br/> José {with the help of <br/> OpenAI, bits <br/> but not all}
It’s nostalgic looking at some of these when they were running on a Solaris box, but a modern retina screen really makes some of these pop.
It’s astonishing that something so beautiful and fun is totally free and won’t shove ads in your face or try to follow you around like a snitch. This outstanding collection of screensavers from the good ol’ days of X11 is my new favorite app. I’m going to install the macOS version, too.
Can I see some screensavers involving pentagons
I have to point out that I use my iPad Pro and my Macbook Pro M2 for Music Production, Song Writing, Sound Productions, Recording... <br/>Even though its an amazing job, its still a job, and work needs to be done to meet standards and deadlines. <br/>Most music apps/software/programs are becoming more and more user friuendly... The GUIs are full of beautiful eye candy and resemble analog equipment. <br/>Because software is much cheaper than hardware, it appeals to 'Starving Artist' and musicians. And since the early stages of Windows, Linux and Mac musicians have <br/>migrated to the world of PC's!<br/><br/>So I have been a part of the ever growing screen savers since 1995, and this brings back memories, and been an inspiration! <br/><br/>The amount of content and the control you have over these amazing screen savers is well worth over $100 ... <br/><br/>I feel like this app is too good to be true! <br/>i can only hope that this app is able to be on the app store for years and years!<br/><br/>Thank you so much for this AMAZING APP! <br/>Also thank you for allowing it to be used on iPad as well as Macbook!
