A native macOS screensaver that displays a grid of simulated Code Agent terminal instances in a tmux-style layout, all appearing to actively work on coding tasks.
screensaver-movie.mov
A full-screen tmux session with 5-8 panes, each showing a Code Agent instance reading files, writing code, running tests, and thinking through problems. Text-character borders with proper junction characters. A status bar at the bottom with session name and timestamp. Panes slowly split, close, and resize over time.

| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Color Scheme | Dark | Dark or Light terminal theme |
| Pane Density | 5-8 | Number of terminal panes (3-12) |
| Use Real Sessions | Off | Replay your actual Code Agent sessions |
| Evolution Speed | 60-90s | How often panes split/close/resize |
| OLED-Safe Mode | Off | Dims chrome and shifts pixels to prevent burn-in |
When "Use Real Sessions" is enabled, the screensaver replays content from your ~/.claude/projects/ directory. This may include file paths, code snippets, and other sensitive content visible on screen while the screensaver is active.
