## XScreenSaver Description
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.

## XScreenSaver Reviews in United States

### ****- "This is one of my favorites"
Yes, I come from the age of screen burn in, so old school screensavers are a favorite.

I also come from a time when there was nothing but analog TV signals, so the one I use most is XAnalogTV.  I just wish it had a control where you could select which of the 12 different channels would be displayed as it cycles through the channels.

### ***** "Very fun. What if widget for ios standby mode?"
I have had this on my Mac for ages now. Put this on my iPhone and was messing with it. 

But what if widget for iOS’ standby mode when plugged in and locked on side? What if we lived on the moon? Where is Waldo?
-- Rockin' Kat, 2024-11-19

### ***** "This is by far one of the best apps of 2024 PERIOD!"
I have to point out that I use my iPad Pro and my Macbook Pro M2 for Music Production, Song Writing, Sound Productions, Recording... 
Even though its an amazing job, its still a job, and work needs to be done to meet standards and deadlines. 
Most music apps/software/programs are becoming more and more user friuendly... The GUIs are full of beautiful eye candy and resemble analog equipment. 
Because software is much cheaper than hardware, it appeals to 'Starving Artist' and musicians. And since the early stages of Windows, Linux and Mac musicians have 
migrated to the world of PC's!

So I have been a part of the ever growing screen savers since 1995, and this brings back memories, and been an inspiration! 

The amount of content and the control you have over these amazing screen savers is well worth over $100 ... 

I feel like this app is too good to be true! 
i can only hope that this app is able to be on the app store for years and years!

Thank you so much for this AMAZING APP! 
Also thank you for allowing it to be used on iPad as well as Macbook!

### ***** "Great for running in the background"
I’m old and I miss the soothing mindlessness of screensavers. This app is a treasure. I only wish it had a favorites option or hide the ones you don’t like.
-- Terapinrex, 2024-04-15

### ***** "Looks brilliant on the high resolution screen of an iPad"
It’s nostalgic looking at some of these when they were running on a Solaris box, but a modern retina screen really makes some of these pop.
-- Coffee Jones, 2024-03-20

### ***** "oh my god"
this needs to get app of the year someday.
-- Calorie killah, 2024-01-14

### ***** "Screensavers involving pentagons"
Can I see some screensavers involving pentagons
-- Carter the Chevrolet, 2024-01-11

### ***** "Acknowledgements"
I would like to express my profound gratitude to Jamie Zawinski for developing XScreenSaver. Your commitment to building an open-source screensaver software that is both reliable and aesthetically pleasing is remarkable. Your passion and dedication to the development of this useful and versatile software is inspiring. Thank you for all the hard work you've put into this project.
             Cordially yours,
      José {with the help of 
                OpenAI, bits 
                  but not all}
-- Mic E Melee, 2023-06-07

### ***** "Amazing and beautiful and FREE!!!"
It’s astonishing that something so beautiful and fun is totally free and won’t shove ads in your face or try to follow you around like a snitch. This outstanding collection of screensavers from the good ol’ days of X11 is my new favorite app. I’m going to install the macOS version, too.
-- MaxAgHammer, 2022-12-13

### ***** "I’ve loved these on…"
…desktops, laptops (now tablets, phones) operating systems, for, literally, decades. Also, jobs, though I really shouldn’t have put those on the computers where I last worked (I retired from there, so they can’t get me now).

AND, I’m not a big Microsoft fan either. I had to force myself to use them at work.

Wonderful stuff, belongs in every computer everywhere. Except one with windows.
