Flying Toasters
Flying Toasters is a screensaver component for macOS that recreates the iconic "Flying Toasters" screensaver from the After Dark suite popular in the 1990s. It displays animated toasters with wings flying across the screen, with adjustable counts for toasters and toast, speed controls, optional 3D depth scaling, particle-generated clouds, and rare stunt maneuvers. The screensaver is installed as a native extension to macOS's Screen Saver engine and integrates with the system's screen saver settings.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionFlying Toasters is a screensaver component, not a standalone app, and is installed and managed through macOS's built-in Screen Saver system. The good news is that the current native version already has full support for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs running macOS Big Sur (11) and newer — the developer has built it as a universal binary. To install or update Flying Toasters, download the latest version from the official site at flyingtoasters.greggant.com and run the installer; it will properly integrate with the macOS Screen Saver host. After installation, you can configure the screensaver's options (toaster count, speed, 3D mode, stunts, clouds) through System Settings → Lock Screen → Screen Saver. No additional steps are needed — the component will work natively on any M-series Mac running Big Sur or later.
