SkyCanvas
Cinematic ambient screen saver
Only for Mac
Free
Mac
Bring your displays to life with smooth, cinematic video. Multi-monitor layouts, simple playlists, and a built-in macOS screen saver.
SkyCanvas turns your Mac into an ambient cinema. Import your own 4K and HDR clips, organise them into mood-based playlists, and let them play full-screen the moment you step away — or as a true macOS screen saver.
Built for creators, designers, and anyone who wants their workspace to feel alive, SkyCanvas pairs a beautiful native macOS interface with a silent, GPU-accelerated playback engine that respects your battery, your storage, and your privacy.
KEY FEATURES
• Native macOS app — built with SwiftUI for macOS Sonoma and later, fully sandboxed.
• Personal video library — import any MP4 or MOV clip you own and organise it your way.
• Smart playlists — build collections by mood, location, or time of day.
• Real screen saver — SkyCanvas ships with a bundled .saver plug-in that's auto-discovered by System Settings.
• Multi-display ready — choose which screens play, which mirror, and which stay dark.
• Idle activation — pick your own idle delay and let SkyCanvas take over without lifting a finger.
• Ambient audio — keep clip soundtracks, mute everything, or loop your own background track.
• Hover previews — scrub through your library without opening a single file.
• Privacy-first — no telemetry, no accounts, no cloud. Your videos never leave your Mac.
WHY SKYCANVAS
Stock screen savers feel dated. Generic video loops feel impersonal. SkyCanvas gives you the best of both: the polish of a system feature with the warmth of clips you actually care about — a sunset you filmed, a coastline from last summer, a slow-motion city scene at golden hour.
Whether you want a calmer break-room display, a beautiful background for your standing desk, or a more cinematic lock screen, SkyCanvas brings your own footage to life.
