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.

A blast

Been a user on MacOS for years- the iOS app is just as great!

So nostalgic just what I wanted

I really like having this on the side of my iPad while writing in my journals. Only problem is there’s no way to save the ones you like, you have to commit them to memory or write them down somewhere. At least there’s a slider to get to any letter faster. Also the fact that I don’t like most of them would have made it nice if there was a hide feature.

These are so fun to go through. I wish I could ♥️ my favorites, and scrub through the different screensavers a little bit faster. I also wish it had the option to keep the screen on (disable auto-sleep) How else am I supposed to save my screen? ?

I remember going on my Windows 7 computer and checking out the screensavers, and this 90s-00s aesthetic art style for screen savers is amazing, considering there's so many! It almost made me want to cry I see a genuine app like this, Thank you!
