Firefly Screensaver

A soothing swarm of fireflies that never loops twice.

Firefly Screensaver fills your screen with a living swarm of glowing particles that never repeat the same path twice. It is designed as a calm, ambient backdrop that feels organic instead of looped. You can tweak motion, brightness, and density to match the mood of your space, whether you want a subtle shimmer or a lively drift. The animation is lightweight and smooth, so it works well on laptops without draining performance. It is perfect for focus sessions, meditation, or simply adding a touch of atmosphere to an idle screen. No accounts, no noise, just a gentle digital glow.
