About:
Aerial is a native macOS screensaver that displays stunning 4K HDR videos captured by drones and helicopters over major cities and natural landscapes. It replicates the Apple TV Aerial screensaver experience on Mac computers, fetching new videos directly from Apple's servers. The tool enhances your desktop with dynamic, high-quality visuals when your machine is idle.
Key Features:
  • Supports 4K HDR video playback with Dolby Vision
  • Automatically downloads new videos from Apple's servers
  • Customizable settings for video sources and display options
  • Displays current location and video information overlay
  • Works as a native macOS System Preferences pane
Use Cases:
  • Transforming idle Mac displays into dynamic digital art canvases
  • Creating an immersive visual environment in home or office setups
  • Showcasing high-quality drone footage of global landmarks
Alternatives:
  • Dynamic Wallpaper – Native macOS feature that changes desktop backgrounds based on time of day, but lacks video motion and screensaver functionality
  • Video Screensaver – Generic video player screensaver that requires manual video sourcing, unlike Aerial's automated Apple video feed
