Serene Screens brings your desktop to life!
Choose from 45 beautifully animated scenes that play right on your desktop — behind your windows, in front of your wallpaper — and turn your Mac into something
calm, cozy, or celebratory. It all lives in a tiny menu bar icon with the option to have a dock icon, no open windows, no fuss.
WEATHER
Gentle snowfall, blustery flurries, soft drizzle, driving rain, a full thunderstorm with lightning, and banks of drifting fog.
NATURE & GARDEN
Autumn leaves, cherry blossom petals, fireflies at dusk, dandelion seeds on the breeze, butterflies, busy insects, soap bubbles, rising campfire embers, and
flocks of birds gliding by.
FESTIVE LIGHTS
Classic blinking Christmas light strings, bulbs draped on a sagging wire, a standing Christmas tree made entirely of twinkling lights, Christmas Eve with Santa's
sleigh flying over a snowy pine forest, warm café patio lights, glowing Chinese lanterns, and sky lanterns floating into the night.
SKY
A twinkling starry night, golden sun rays, the shimmering Aurora Borealis, and shooting stars streaking across a starfield.
UNDER THE SEA
Pulsating jellyfish, schools of fish, divers' bubbles, waving kelp beds, bioluminescent plankton
SEASONAL & FUN
Fireworks with multi-colored bursts, rising champagne fizz for the midnight toast, confetti, floating hearts, lucky shamrocks, painted Easter eggs, red envelopes
and gold coins for Lunar New Year, bats and ghosts for Halloween, balloons, swooping paper planes, drifting umbrellas, bouncing beach balls, and dancing music
notes.
MAKE IT YOURS
Every scene has its own controls — speed, amount, wind, and size — so you can dial in anything from a single lazy snowflake to a full blizzard. Surprise Me picks
a scene for you.
DESIGNED TO STAY OUT OF YOUR WAY
• Lives entirely in the menu bar (with optional dock icon)
• Animations never block clicks — your desktop works exactly as before
• Choose which displays show animations on multi-monitor setups
• Pause anytime from the menu or settings; paused means zero energy use
• Scenes respond to occasional gusts of wind for a natural, living feel
Whether you want quiet snowfall while you work, fireworks for a celebration, or Santa crossing the sky in December, Serene Screens makes your Mac a more
delightful place to be.

Dive into a new world!
New: Under the Sea
Five all-new living scenes bring the ocean to your desktop:
• Jellyfish — translucent bells pulsing gently through the deep
• Schooling Fish — shoals darting across the current
• Bioluminescent Plankton — a soft, drifting haze of glow
• Kelp Forest — fronds swaying with the tide
• Bubble Streams — wobbling columns of diver's bubbles rising to the surface
Now in your Dock
Serene Screens now shows a Dock icon by default, so it's always easy to find and open. Prefer the menu-bar-only look? Just turn the Dock icon off in Settings — your menu bar icon stays right where it is.
