A macOS screen saver plugin that renders web pages inside a WebKit view, cycling through a configurable list of URLs. It can be installed via Homebrew or from releases and configured through System Settings.

Use cases

  • display a live dashboard as my mac screensaver
  • cycle through web pages on my screen saver
  • show a website when my mac is idle
  • use a local html page as a screensaver
  • build a custom screensaver with web content

When to choose

  • you want a macOS screensaver that shows any web page or local HTML
  • you want to rotate dashboards or status pages while your machine is idle
  • you prefer installing via Homebrew cask

When to avoid

  • you need a screensaver on Linux or Windows
  • you need offline non-web screensaver content
  • ad hoc signing and Gatekeeper prompts are unacceptable in your environment
