The launch catalog includes 24 visuals: - Test Pattern - Departures - Lorenz - Rosette - Lifelike - Flip Clock - Neon Grid - Plasma - Flocks - Flying Microwaves - Starfield - Mystique - Lake - Pipeworks - 3D Text - Tunnel - Shapeshifter - Ribbons - Green Rain - Bubbles - Cradle - Filament - Bounce - Sand Table RetroScreens is built for the Apple devices you already have: - Play immersive foreground visuals on iPhone and iPad - Use the Apple TV app as a living-room visual library - Use the Mac app directly - Unlock the full v1 catalog once and use it across supported Apple platforms with the same App Store account Some visuals are precise and minimal. Some are bright, strange, and nostalgic. All of them are rendered on-device and tuned for foreground playback, ambient presentation, and slow visual texture.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: RetroScreens at Free against Clan Cat Generator's $0.99. RetroScreens also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 9 months) and device support (4 vs 2). Clan Cat Generator's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On ads there is nothing between them.
