A simplified yet more powerful UIĪerial 3 refines the UI introduced previously by simplifying it. It requires OS X Mavericks or newer, and there’s even a Windows version from Dmitry Sadakov so that you can enjoy the slowly drifting scenery no matter which platform you’re working on.The latest videos from tvOS 15 are now available in Aerial 3.0, including videos from Patagonia, Grand Canyon, Scotland and Iceland. If you have multiple displays attached to your Mac, you can also configure Aerial to play a different video on each, turning your desk into a visual delight.Īerial for Mac automatically pulls the latest flyover videos from Apple’s servers, so your experience will remain up-to-date as Apple adds new content. The Mac screen saver’s options allow you to specify exactly which flyover videos you’d like to see based on location and time of day. Here’s where Aerial for Mac is arguably even better than the version included on the Apple TV. Click it to see a preview on the right and select Screen Saver Options to configure it.

Once downloaded, double-click on Aerial.saver to install it.įrom there, head to System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > Screen Saver and you’ll find Aerial listed on the bottom after the built-in Mac screen savers. To use it, head over to the project’s website and download the latest version.

The Github project Aerial is a free macOS screen saver that gives you the same Apple TV experience right on your Mac. While these videos do indeed look great on your TV, wouldn’t it be nice to enjoy them on your Mac as well? Thanks to developer John Coates, you can! One of the great features of the fourth-generation Apple TV is the built-in “Aerial” screen savers: gorgeous flyover videos of major cities, landmarks, and natural wonders.
