Hyperspace
Hyperspace is a space flight simulation screensaver that allows you to cruise through the far reaches of space, fly between the stars, across oozing cosmic planes, and through endless shimmering tunnels. You can optionally adjust the speed, view depth, field of view, number and size of the stars and the resolution of geometry, and set a limit on the frame rate.

If you have an Intel-based Mac, it probably works fine. I have an Apple Silicon Mac, and this screensaver puts a LOT of stress on the GPU. Using an onboard thermometer, I found temps to reach 70 degrees Celcuis. It appears as an Intel-Based program in Activity Monitor. I had to delete it, uses like 80% GPU power. Otherwise, it would be an awesome screensaver
It works wonderfully well, what wonderful plays of light and what colours, beautiful!
Works well with Win10 Pro without issue. Supports multi-monitor - averages itself between monitors, which sometimes looks a little funny when the space "between" is vertical between them (but not in any kind of bad or problematic way)
Looks good and very nice
This "ride" is EPIC, Best ever! The flow and color shift/transitions are Awesome.
Definitely my new #1 screen saver.
there is a small bug right at the beginning but it looks great
Whoa... Just... Whoa. This was better than I thought it would be. Smooth, amazing colors, and plenty of options to change to get what you want.
Works on multiple monitors. Looks great. Can remove the tunnels. The only thing missing is to remove the rotations or slow them down.
Works on multiple monitors and looks absolutely incredible!
this is an extremely good screensaver i could sit and watch it for hours but the only complaint i have is that after enough time the "cosmic goo" stops generating
Really good effect but Hyperspace doesn't drift or go backwards, this sort of ruins the impact to a degree.
This screensaver very gud.
I like a lot, I just wish I had a bit more control over getting it for fly forward or backward rather than banging in every direction like the TARDIS does.
In fact, it kind of needs a TARDIS flip-flopping around to make it even better!
Epic, and it works on both screens
This is an awesome SS, set the frame rate to 30 or 40 and it won't heat up your machine, and gives great resolution; plus I have two screens and it works GREAT. love it Kudos to the designer(s)
the best of the best of the best
Great
Too much fast movement and flashing lights, very distracting. Not relaxing.
It's awesome
It starts and locks up after 5 seconds.
Sieht richtig toll aus. Auch mit 3 Screens
Works perfectly on my laptop with Windows 10
Super Bildschirmschoner, klein und fein, mir war wichtig das er über mehrere Bildschirme geht und das macht er perfect !! top
dazu kommt noch das er OHNE Maleware ist !!!
Like the wormhole effect, In and out graphics of hyperspace tunnels.
Agree - add tick box to disable sweeping/swooping. I want something like the Enterprise going to warp.
great!
I love this screensaver, but it doesn't work on Catalina
please add planets yayyy :D
Great concept but the amount of turns and random angle shifts that it makes is sickening and makes it almost unwatchable. There are no settings to determine the angle of motion and turns which is a limitation that makes this screensaver all but unusable. Why does it go backwards? That's stupid... Otherwise great!
Great except it only runs for a short time, there are no setting to have it run in a loop or longer, would be nice to have the creator inform us on how to make it run longer or even upgrade it. It is free so would not expect a reply. Only gave 4 stars because of that but will give 5+ stars for video display.
It's cool
It's terrific. I just wish it could be less swoopy (constantly altering the direction of view) and spinny. Setting it to speed 1 or 2 helps a lot. If it had additional controls for "spinniness" and "swoopiness" it could be much more perfect. I would like to see more forward progression through "hyperspace", fewer spins and banks and turns.
Sadly will not run
This screensaver would be perfect if it weren't for the constant spinning. It's making me dizzy.
Download works, just didn't display correctly
Pretty good! Quality is high and its very pleasant to look at. Only issue is that its very involved, if it started playing I would pay attention to the screensaver instead of waking my monitor back up.
Fantastic screensaver but far too many people, like me, are having issues with it on Mac OS Sierra and High Sierra. For me and many others, this screensaver only runs for less than a minute, then the default mac screensaver turns on. Please update this screensaver! Otherwise I love it.
This is brilliant! I can't stop watching it
After upgrading to macOS High Sierra the screen saver runs for 3 seconds then the default macOS screen saver starts and Hyperspace goes away. So sad :( WHY did Apple do this?!
Author: Please fix this, PLEASE!
Very nice, works with windows 10 and displays on all my monitors!
When I upgraded my iMac to the High Sierra OS last night, this screensaver stopped working. It runs for about 3 seconds and then it switches to the Mac default screensaver. I talked to Apple tech support and they say that OS 10.13.1 will require some apps like screensaver that aren't fully Mac compliant to be updated. I love this and hope that you can give me an ETA on a new version that works with the newest Mac OS
Hands down, the best screen saver around. Would love to see an update but the options and detail are phenomenal. Excellent!
This is the screen save I have ever saw. One word, Brilliant!
My favorite at the moment. This is one of the most entertaining to watch. The movement is not unlike that of a roller coaster - and like a roller coaster, this may give ya a li'l bit of dizziness.
This......... is........ awesome!!!!!!!
I hope, somebody will create a "Nebulating Hyperspace" screensaver in future.
One of the most visually captivating screensavers I have ever seen. I highly recommend it. Thanks for sharing.
"Hyperspace has stopped working!" after several seconds.
It look amazing on two monitors! I recommend this.
A stylish and dynamic screen saver.
Fantastic, in comparison to the rather tired old native screen savers provided. Little has changed since the introduction of the various display transition options for the desktop pictures folder.
This screensaver is awesome! I have a 3 monitor setup and it looks amazing spanning across all 3 monitors. Highly recommend this screensaver!
It supports multi-monitor, has a cool aurora. Love it!
I like it
ok
This is amazing! so smooth and practically an infinite animation so you never get bored watching it because its never the same!
