Price History of XScreenSaver

Description of XScreenSaver

The XScreenSaver application is a large collection of historic and educational graphics demos. XScreenSaver is the standard screen saver collection shipped on most Linux and Unix systems. I released the first version in 1992. In 2006, I ported it to MacOS, and in 2012 I ported it to iOS. This application is not a screen saver, of course, since iOS doesn't have those. But it does let you play with the hundreds of graphics demos that are a part of the XScreenSaver collection.

Reviews of XScreenSaver

  • This is by far one of the best apps of 2024 PERIOD!

    I have to point out that I use my iPad Pro and my Macbook Pro M2 for Music Production, Song Writing, Sound Productions, Recording...
    Even though its an amazing job, its still a job, and work needs to be done to meet standards and deadlines.
    Most music apps/software/programs are becoming more and more user friuendly... The GUIs are full of beautiful eye candy and resemble analog equipment.
    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
    migrated to the world of PC's!

    So I have been a part of the ever growing screen savers since 1995, and this brings back memories, and been an inspiration!

    The amount of content and the control you have over these amazing screen savers is well worth over $100 ...

    I feel like this app is too good to be true!
    i can only hope that this app is able to be on the app store for years and years!

    Thank you so much for this AMAZING APP!
    Also thank you for allowing it to be used on iPad as well as Macbook!
  • Great for running in the background

    I’m old and I miss the soothing mindlessness of screensavers. This app is a treasure. I only wish it had a favorites option or hide the ones you don’t like.
  • Looks brilliant on the high resolution screen of an iPad

    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.
