perfect
No ads, no data collection, it does exactly what it is supposed to do. Reminds me of when computers were fun.
This is one of my favorites
Yes, I come from the age of screen burn in, so old school screensavers are a favorite.
I also come from a time when there was nothing but analog TV signals, so the one I use most is XAnalogTV. I just wish it had a control where you could select which of the 12 different channels would be displayed as it cycles through the channels.

awesome
i love the variety, this is perfect for my ipad when its on my stand charging not doing anything. i like the skull loop one. this app is weirdly underrated because theres no other app like this
Very fun. What if widget for ios standby mode?
I have had this on my Mac for ages now. Put this on my iPhone and was messing with it.
But what if widget for iOS’ standby mode when plugged in and locked on side? What if we lived on the moon? Where is Waldo?

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!

xscreensaver my beloved
When I was growing up, screensavers were falling out of fashion. The first, and last, screensaver I saw was Windows 7's Bubbles. The screensaver options in Windows nowadays have not expanded and are uninteresting.
And then I started playing with Linux.
Screensavers are awesome. They are an expression of art, mathematics and computer science. What used to be high-end demos that were the whole focus of a floppy disc on systems like the C64, we now effortlessly run when we aren't looking at our screen. What a marker of human progression.
A gallery of screensavers for iOS could easily replace any Netflix subscription or YouTube brainrot. I'm pocketing this in my list of neat iOS apps along with iperf and Fish Farm.

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.
oh my god
this needs to get app of the year someday.
Screensavers involving pentagons
Can I see some screensavers involving pentagons

Amazing.
This is arguably the best app on the app store. It also comes with most Linux systems. My fav is definitely the 3d pipes(which I use on my windows machine(I ported the screensaver from xp 2 11)) The only thing that could make it my fav app in the world is if the developers ported the app 2 windows. I am sure lots of other people will love the windows version! Thank you for reading this far. plz, developers, plz, port this app 2 windows!! Bye📎
ps: I'm only 11 years old and I can say kids love screensaver my little brother likes to turn on the DVD player and stare at the screensaver until it hits the corner =)

Amazing and beautiful and FREE!!!
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.
I’ve loved these on…
…desktops, laptops (now tablets, phones) operating systems, for, literally, decades. Also, jobs, though I really shouldn’t have put those on the computers where I last worked (I retired from there, so they can’t get me now).
AND, I’m not a big Microsoft fan either. I had to force myself to use them at work.
Wonderful stuff, belongs in every computer everywhere. Except one with windows.

Peak of Nostalgia
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!
My favorite windows screensaver
Windows is awesome and I really like screensavers so this is perfect
Fantastic
A lot of fun to use
Old and New Open Source Screensavers You Know and Love
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? 😃
Cool stuff
This is great thanks :)
I adore this program
There aren’t an overwhelming amount of reminders that coding is an art form, and usually when it’s good, it’s footprint is very small.
Thanks for reissuing the programs that made me sit in awe of idle Linux servers I worked on back when I was a wee nerd..
