  Kuro Screensaver v0.3.0 — native Metal screensaver app

  A real, live-rendered native macOS screensaver — a full rewrite of the engine in Metal, replacing the WebView/video approach.

  Highlights

  • Native standalone app (KuroScreensaver-native-app-macos.zip, notarized + stapled — opens cleanly on any Mac): borderless per-display, normal app lifecycle, live config preview, menu bar, auto-start-on-idle.
  • 6 scenes: terrain · city · rift · tunnel · void (3D flythroughs) + a static Matrix rain scene.
  • Dynamic banking flight — cinematic weaving camera, adjustable bank strength, always-level start.
  • Full retro-CRT suite: curvature, aperture grille, phosphor trails, bloom, NTSC, halation, scanlines, glitch + crash→reboot, day/night + weather.
  • Operator terminal narrative (the "soul"): the full INSTR-KARSEN mentor/ghostlink story in strip / full-width band / Apple-Lisa center-window layouts.
  • Looks presets, audio, CRT power-on + BIOS boot.

  Install (native app — recommended)

  Download KuroScreensaver-native-app-macos.zip, unzip, drag KuroMetalApp.app to /Applications, open. Enable auto-start-on-idle in its settings.

  Legacy artifacts (the original .saver, per-preset video .savers, Windows .scr, web build) are attached as before.
