  2. Launch DotStudio → Install ScreensaverOpen Wallpaper Settings → pick DotStudio once.
  3. After that, switch screensavers from the app sidebar — no Settings needed.

The app is ad-hoc signed (not notarized). On first launch, right-click the app → Open, or run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/DotStudio.app.

  • Shared image / video / gradient source across all styles
  • Live preview, per-effect controls, 26 demo screensavers

Built and tested on macOS 26 (Tahoe), Apple Silicon. Requires macOS 14+.
