Description

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.

What’s New

Version 6.09

New hacks, kallisti and highvoltage. Formal-wear for headroom.

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!

I’ve loved these on…

…desktops, laptops (now tablets, phones) operating systems, for, literally, decades. Also, jobs, though I really shouldn’t have put those on the computers where I last worked (I retired from there, so they can’t get me now).

AND, I’m not a big Microsoft fan either. I had to force myself to use them at work.

Wonderful stuff, belongs in every computer everywhere. Except one with windows.
