Fish Tank: a goldfish, betta, pufferfish, discus and neon tetra in a pixel-art aquarium

Something to watch

A fish tank that never needs cleaning

A goldfish, a betta and a pufferfish drift through swaying plants while bubbles rise toward the light. Choose a few fish or a crowd.

Want something calmer? Fish Tank 2000 swaps in lifelike fish and a planted tank.

Puzzle: a coastal landscape photo broken into jigsaw pieces, half reassembled

Your screen, in pieces

Your desktop becomes a jigsaw

Puzzle breaks a picture into real interlocking pieces, shuffles them, and sets them back one at a time, the way a hand would.

Use what’s on your screen, blurred so nothing private shows, or a favorite photo or folder.

How it works

Set it once, then forget it’s there

ScreenDream runs on its own, separate from the screen saver built into your computer.

1

It waits by the clock

A small icon, no windows in your way. Start a screensaver from it any time.

MACMenu bar WINDOWSNotification area
2

It starts when you step away

After the idle time you choose, from one minute to thirty, or the moment you point at a hot corner.

3

It steps aside when you’re back

Move the mouse or press a key and you’re right where you left off.

Every displayEach connected screen runs its own copy of the screensaver.
Private by designNo accounts and no analytics. Your settings stay on your computer.
