⚠️⚠️⚠️ These alpha versions finally fix the Sequoia/Tahoe black screen issues. Some features still missing, bugs expected. Support for this on Discord, or report issues on github ⚠️⚠️⚠️

Do not install this if you changed the cache location (to a NAS or an external drive for example and this is important to you). All Aerial data is stored in /Users/Shared/Aerial and will offer migrating data from the container. Other location support will come back in a subsequent alpha.

After you download the app, move it to your /Applications or ~/Applications folder.

What's new :

  • Fix overlay editor wonkiness when resizing elements
  • Fix Countdown/Timer overlays
  • Fix Battery overalay. Should work again on all macs.
  • Fix desktop mode not closing correctly on screen disconnect, and not restarting correctly on reconnect
  • More fix to independant mode playback, it seems it still acts up from time to time, report your issues
  • Add new auto pause feature for desktop mode, it will pause/restart the desktop mode smoothly if your windows cover a large portion of the screen :

Known issues/Various gotchas :

  • Music overlay is not working and will require changes as Apple no longer allow us to grab the information in mediaremoted.

Important :

  • If things don't work, open the "new" settings and look at the checklist on top. You should get buttons to resolve issues if any. (register/enable). Report issues about this on discord/github.
  • You can be sure you are running the new version if you see a version number at the bottom corner of the screen when you start the screensaver. It disappears after a few seconds and will be removed in the future.
  • You can start fresh if you encounter issues by deleting /Users/Shared/Aerial
