About 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.

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!
