United StatesThe 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.
Great for running in the background
I’m old and I miss the soothing mindlessness of screensavers. This app is a treasure. I only wish it had a favorites option or hide the ones you don’t like.
United StatesLooks brilliant on the high resolution screen of an iPad
It’s nostalgic looking at some of these when they were running on a Solaris box, but a modern retina screen really makes some of these pop.
United Statesoh my god

United StatesAcknowledgements
I would like to express my profound gratitude to Jamie Zawinski for developing XScreenSaver. Your commitment to building an open-source screensaver software that is both reliable and aesthetically pleasing is remarkable. Your passion and dedication to the development of this useful and versatile software is inspiring. Thank you for all the hard work you've put into this project. Cordially yours, José {with the help of OpenAI, bits but not all}
United StatesAmazing and beautiful and FREE!!!
It’s astonishing that something so beautiful and fun is totally free and won’t shove ads in your face or try to follow you around like a snitch. This outstanding collection of screensavers from the good ol’ days of X11 is my new favorite app. I’m going to install the macOS version, too.
United StatesI’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.
