Padbury Clock

Padbury Clock is a screensaver plugin that installs into macOS's system screensaver component, not a standalone application. The screensaver has not been actively updated by Mustacheware for several years — user reviews from the Screensavers Planet site indicate the plugin stopped working on newer macOS releases, with several users reporting breakage on M-series Macs and recent macOS versions over the past 2–3 years. There is no confirmed native Apple Silicon build available. Since screensavers are a low-level system component, a non-native Intel screensaver will stop working entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028). Your best path forward is to contact Mustacheware directly to ask if they plan a native update before that deadline. If they do not respond or have abandoned the project, you can find alternative minimal clock screensavers on the macOS App Store or through the System Settings Screensaver pane itself — several modern alternatives (such as Aqua Clock or other clock-based screensavers) offer similar minimalist designs and run natively on Apple Silicon. For now, the Intel build of Padbury Clock will continue to work under Rosetta 2, but beginning in September 2028 it will no longer launch on macOS 28 or later.
