About This App

Aerial is a free, open-source screensaver and live wallpaper app for macOS that plays Apple's high-definition aerial videos — cinematic footage of cities, deserts, oceans, and the International Space Station. It extends the built-in macOS aerial screensaver with many features: the full Apple TV library at native quality (including new 4K 240fps content), support for custom videos and live camera feeds (RTSP, HLS, YouTube), customizable visual overlays (clock, weather, location), community-created video expansion packs, per-monitor playback, and global hotkeys for live wallpaper control. Aerial has been continuously updated since 2015 and is popular with users who want cinematic, customizable desktop aesthetics.

Aerial already ships as a native Apple Silicon build — the latest release (May 16, 2026) explicitly states support for both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. If you are running an older version, simply download the current build from aerialscreensaver.github.io and drag it to your Applications folder. The app auto-updates, so you will be kept on the latest native version going forward. There is no need to take any special action — Aerial is already fully compatible with Apple Silicon Macs and will continue to work on future macOS releases.
