Clockwork Or Steampunk Screensaver For Macbook

Some of us treat our Mac’s like our children. Frankly, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.

After spending thousands of dollars on Apple devices, I can honestly say I’ve been happy with their products. From both the operating system to the classic minimalist aesthetic, they’ve proven to be great devices.

To top off your Mac, a great wallpaper and screensaver is a necessity. There’s a wide variety of mac screensavers available for free, but today we are focusing specifically on clocks.

We’ve broken down some of the top clock screensavers below. Feel free to download whichever one you like best.

1. Fliqlo

Fliqlo is our top pick. As one of the most popular clock screensavers available for Mac, you won’t be disappointed. The classic looking screensaver features a large bold font as numbers flip throughout the day. Easy to read both near and far, if your looking for something both simple and practical, this is it.

2. Grid Clock

The Grid Clock is arguably less practical than Fliqlo. But it’s intriguing style has an abstract advantage: it looks cool. This “word search” style clock is an all caps minimalist beauty that slowly reveals the time as time goes by. You’ll be oddly satisfied and perplexed as the Grid Clock refreshes the time.

3. Clock.saver

Clock.saver is a simply designed Mac screensaver that’s inspired by the Braun brand of watches and clocks. You can easily see the resemblance it strikes to a modern wristwatch. If you’re looking for a contemporary design, this is the screensaver for you. It’s essentially a wristwatch for your Mac.

4. The Apple Watch Mac Screensaver

Love your Apple watch so much that you’d like your MacBook to match it? We have you covered. This clock screensaver features the classic watch faces available on Apple watch, but for Mac OS. There’s over 80 variations available in the super clean Apple aesthetic. Enjoy!

5. Countdown

Okay, we admit it. We’re cheating a bit here. After all Countdown isn’t actually a clock, but…ahem…a timer. Bear with me here, this is still an awesome screensaver. The best part about it is that you can input whatever date you’d like. This way you can count down to your dog’s 3rd birthday, your next promotion, or even the year 2050!

Long time ago, screensavers were actually meant to save the screen. Ya speaking literally. Save from what ? Well it happened to be a problem named screen-burn-effect – a permanent deformity on areas of a CRT monitor due to non-moving text or graphics being displayed for a long period of time. To negate this problem, screen savers were used to fill the screen with moving graphics when the computer was idle. But nowadays its sole purpose is to spice up your screen.(Also read : Display RSS Feeds as Windows Screensaver)
