ONE PURCHASE, MORE WORLDS Oscilluma Pro is an optional one-time purchase that unlocks all 21 visual worlds and 126 authored looks: 20 more worlds and 122 more looks beyond the free collection. No subscription or ads. Each world has its own visual character. Looks are carefully chosen variations within those worlds, rather than separate effects.

On Apple TV, browse with the Siri Remote, choose a world and hide the controls for full-screen art. Select a palette to apply it; moving focus between palette cards keeps your current colors.

Pro also lets you save and recall your own Rooms. Oscilluma runs as an app you open. It does not replace the Apple TV system screen saver. The visuals move independently; music and sound response are not included.
