Monitor, screensaver. Hyperspace is a screen saver that sends its users on a virtual trip through a wormhole, just like the ones in some sci-fi TV shows and movies.
RedPill is a customizable Matrix screensaver for Mac OS X that was recently updated to support El Capitan, and Sierra. The Matrix caught the world by storm when it was released in 1999. It was the snazziest sci-fi film of the year with a fun plot, breath-taking action, and likable characters.
The film brought slow-mo action, and the 360 panning to the mainstream. It still exerts an influence on pop. One of the neatest things about The Matrix was those vertically scrolling green Japanese(?) characters which, if I remember correctly, visualized the matrix code running in some cryptic form. Here’s how it looks: Soon after its release, we saw people using this as a wallpaper. Power users went one step beyond, though, as they started using it as a screensaver.
Fireplace Screensaver For Mac
There are a number of Matrix code screensavers for platforms that support screensavers. Yet, most developers haven’t kept the screensavers updated with the passage of time. As a result, most of them just don’t work well on the latest version of Windows or OS X. So, when we came across a post for RedPill – a Matrix screensaver – on reddit, we were pleasantly surprised. Also check out: Introducing RedPill RedPill is a Matrix screensaver for Mac, which works on OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) and above.
Its latest update brings in support for OS X El Capitan / macOS Sierra, too! It works in a fairly obvious manner. You simply download the screensaver (link at the bottom), unzip the screensaver, and install it. You can later activate it from System Preferences Desktop & Screen Saver. RedPill is somewhat customizable, too. You can change the number of code strips, their speed, cursor speed, and much more. We were impressed by RedPill. Besides being regularly updated by the developer, it is also nicely customizable, and completely free!

Nytraveler, video plays fine, isn’t useful as a screensaver This program doesn’t integrate with Mac’s screensaver or sleep mode. Normally a Mac screensaver will do two things: 1) allow the system to go to sleep eventually, if you’ve set it to, 2) not interrupt certain programs like Netflix/Silverlight running fullscreen. This program, when running (and the option to bypass sleep mode is NOT checked) does not allow the computer to ever sleep. So if the screensaver starts when you leave the computer for the night, when you check it in the morning the video will have been running and monitor have been on the whole time. I finally deleted it when I was watching a movie fullscreen and it interrupted. This makes it totally useless. It ran the video beautifully, too, I wish I could use it!

I love it because when I am working at my desk, I can have a nature documentary playing in the background, much cooler than any standard screensaver. 4 stars because this is good and useful, but not completely polished yet.
I do have some feature requests for the future - 1. Check box in preferences to have it open at login. I added it manually to my login items. I would like to have multiple monitor support (playing two different movies would be even better!) Right now, one screen stays black and the other plays the movie. I would like the ability to set a folder of movies to be used at random instead of just one. Variety is the spice of life.
Again, great work, and I look forward to more updates!
