FAQ
Does it keep my screen awake?
By default it lets your display dim/sleep normally. Turn on 'Keep awake' in the controls if you want the Screen Wake Lock to keep the panel on.
Can I set it as my computer's real screensaver?
Not directly. It runs in a browser tab, so it won't start by itself when your computer goes idle. Open it full-screen when you step away, or leave it running on a spare display.
Can it cause burn-in on an OLED?
The moving effects (matrix rain, starfield, snow, pipes and the DVD logo) keep the image changing, which is what a screensaver is for. The clock is the exception: its digits stay in the middle of the screen, so don't leave it running for hours on an OLED.
Tips
- Turn on 'Keep awake' in the controls if you want the display to stay on instead of sleeping.
- The DVD logo's corner-hit is rare by design — that's the moment everyone waits for.
