Black Hole Screensaver for Mac

A black hole screensaver that reacts to what's actually on your screen instead of playing the same clip forever.

A traditional screensaver replaces your desktop with a video. This one keeps your desktop and warps it: the hole passes over your open windows and drags them into arcs around its photon ring.

It works both ways: it arrives when your focus session ends, and it also takes over on its own once you leave the Mac idle — five minutes by default. The first key or mouse move brings your desktop straight back, and that keystroke is swallowed instead of landing in whatever you had open.

Set your session length, choose how long the hole takes to grow, and let it run.

That is a real macOS desktop, not an animation. Black Hole reads your live screen 30 times a second and bends it around the event horizon — your own windows, your own text.
