Great job! Thanks for going through the hassle of code signing.

I find myself wanting to keep it running in a corner of the screen. An option to "keep window on top" and a way to "snap" the window to the correct aspect ratio would be welcome.

When you share the source you can tell me to submit a patch. :-)

A long time ago I created a buggy reimplementation of the Flying Toasters screen saver for macOS. Noodling with this may inspire me to get that updated.

I’m working on all of this now. What I released so far is just the isolated app. I’m curious if you downloaded the latest and it’s working? With codesign + notarizing there should be no issues with gatekeeper.


Soon I’ll update the screensaver portion which manages the isolated app as a screen saver. I’m actively working on it and working through the issues…it’s almost done!

Yes, I downloaded the signed app and it works great. I think I was unclear. I absolutely *can* run it in a corner of the screen, I just meant "keep window on top" is kind of necessary otherwise I immediately cover it with a window. But, again, I'm not trying to make demands, just trying to encourage you to share the source!

No worries! I’m glad to hear it’s working for you. I can definitely make that work…but I also have to account for the different ways people might want to run it.

Will try to open source soon…some of the code is messy as I try to zero in on the best window management strategy.

I super appreciate your input and replies. This has turned into a screen saver engine that I’m building and I just whipped up another screen saver and posted in the Sierra forum on Reddit minutes ago. It’s a screen saver for game box art so it’s completely different from JC.

See my latest devlog post for this project: I have open sourced the Go build of JC for desktop!
