Boilerplate
One line. Surrealism is a Mac screensaver of surreal, AI-generated video loops that play when your screen goes idle.
Short (~50 words). Surrealism (surrealism.app) turns your Mac's idle screen into a living gallery of surreal, AI-generated video loops that cross-fade like a slow, breathing painting. Free to install with starter loops; a one-time Founder's Lifetime unlocks the full, ever-growing library. Notarized by Apple. From the creators of Surrealism Today.
Long. Surrealism is a macOS screensaver from Surrealism Today, the magazine and 8M-view YouTube channel. Instead of a blank screen, it plays a curated gallery of seamless, high-bitrate surreal loops — molten gold, iridescent glass, impossible light — with true cross-fades between them and playback controls for shuffle, cross-fade length, and which loops stay in rotation. It's free to install, one-time $69 to unlock everything, works across every display, and runs fully offline once the library has downloaded.
Key features
- Seamless, high-bitrate surreal video loops with true cross-fades — a continuous gallery, not a slideshow.
- Playback controls: shuffle, adjustable cross-fade, and Choose Loops selection from thumbnails.
- Multi-display playback; add your own seamless loops; fully offline once downloaded.
- Free to install; one-time Founder's Lifetime unlocks the full, growing library — no subscription.
Assets
Click to download. High-resolution screenshots and starter loops are available on request.
Brand & usage
Please refer to the app as Surrealism (or “Surrealism for Mac”), and the maker as Surrealism Today. The iridescent orb is our wordmark — keep clear space around it and don't recolor it. Screenshots may be cropped but not edited or filtered.
About the maker
Surrealism.app is part of Surrealism Today — a magazine, an archive, and a small family of tools for people who make and love surreal work. Related properties: Surrealism.ai (streaming visuals for venues and screens), Glitchology (free glitch & datamosh guides), and the Surrealism Today YouTube channel (8M+ views). The loops are created with Infinidream.ai, Scott Draves' generative engine in the Electric Sheep lineage, which Surrealism Today works on as a partner.
