A macOS screensaver that plays Apple TV aerial view videos. This is the historical .saver repository; development has moved to the Aerial.app repository (AerialScreensaver/Aerial).

Use cases

  • show Apple TV aerial videos as my Mac screensaver
  • get beautiful drone footage screen saver for macOS
  • replace the default macOS screensaver with Apple TV views
  • download the old .saver version of Aerial
  • play 4K aerial videos when my Mac is idle

When to choose

  • you specifically need the legacy .saver plugin format for older macOS versions
  • you want to study the original Swift screensaver implementation

When to avoid

  • you want the current, actively developed version - use AerialScreensaver/Aerial (Aerial.app) instead
  • you are on modern macOS where the App Extension-based Aerial.app is recommended
