Screen Saver Beta

Try the optional modern screen-saver extension without changing the stable desktop wallpaper path.

VibePapers playback and Screen Saver Beta settings

Before enabling it

Assign at least one live wallpaper. The Screen Saver Beta uses the current per-display assignments exported by the main app.

Enable the integration

Open Settings and turn on Use VibePapers as Screen Saver. VibePapers registers the embedded extension and asks macOS to select it.

Confirmation and rollback

Activation is transactional: VibePapers confirms that macOS selected the extension. If confirmation fails, it restores the previous screen-saver setting.

Configure start behavior

Use Configure Screen Saver to choose the idle interval, or configure a Start Screen Saver Hot Corner. Start Screen Saver Now may require macOS Automation approval.

Beta boundary

The screen saver is optional and may be less reliable than the direct desktop engine. Desktop live wallpapers do not depend on it, and there is no legacy .saver installer.
