SkyCanvas turns your Mac into an ambient cinema
SkyCanvas turns your Mac into an ambient cinema. Import your own 4K and HDR clips, organise them into mood-based playlists, and let them play full-screen the moment you step away — or as a true macOS screen saver. Built for creators, designers, and anyone who wants their workspace to feel alive, SkyCanvas pairs a beautiful native macOS interface with a silent, GPU-accelerated playback engine that respects your battery, your storage, and your privacy. KEY FEATURES • Native macOS app — built with SwiftUI for macOS Sonoma and later, fully sandboxed. • Personal video library — import any MP4 or MOV clip you own and organise it your way. • Smart playlists — build collections by mood, location, or time of day. • Real screen saver — SkyCanvas ships with a bundled .saver plug-in that's auto-discovered by System Settings. • Multi-display ready — choose which screens play, which mirror, and which stay dark. • Idle activation — pick your own idle delay and let SkyCanvas take over without lifting a finger. • Ambient audio — keep clip soundtracks, mute everything, or loop your own background track. • Hover previews — scrub through your library without opening a single file. • Privacy-first — no telemetry, no accounts, no cloud. Your videos never leave your Mac. WHY SKYCANVAS Stock screen savers feel dated. Generic video loops feel impersonal. SkyCanvas gives you the best of both: the polish of a system feature with the warmth of clips you actually care about — a sunset you filmed, a coastline from last summer, a slow-motion city scene at golden hour. Whether you want a calmer break-room display, a beautiful background for your standing desk, or a more cinematic lock screen, SkyCanvas brings your own footage to life.
