About Brooklyn

Brooklyn is a small macOS screensaver that recreates the animated Apple logos shown at Apple's October 2018 event in Brooklyn, New York, where the logo was redrawn in dozens of artistic styles. Once installed, it cycles through those short animations on an idle screen. Settings are minimal: it is meant to be installed and left alone. It is a hobby project by an independent developer, free and released under the MIT licence on GitHub, and it is installed by downloading the screensaver file and opening it in System Settings. There is no Windows or Linux version, and updates are occasional rather than regular. It suits people who want a stylish, branded animation on an idle Mac rather than a clock, photos or video landscapes.

Best for: Mac users who want playful animated Apple logos on an idle screen.
