A screensaver based on the 'digital rain' appearing on computer screens in the popular The Matrix film trilogy, created by The Wachowski Brothers and starring Keanu Reeves as Neo. The speed, density, balance, noise and inversion of the characters in this 'rain' effect can be adjusted, and you can optionally even change the default green hues to any other colors.

We’ve laid all the groundwork to enable the mesmerising effect of CMatrix screensaver. In your new terminal window, type screen and hit enter to enter the screen session. First thing you will see is a wall of text — this is the startup message. Press space or enter to dismiss. (I’ve added a tip at the end of the page how.

Font WAY to SMALL :(

Good screensaver but somehow the animation is very slow on my MacBook. The OS is Catalina. How can I fix it?

I agree with Damien, the font is super small. Weird that you can adjust everything except the font size. I'm reluctant to actually purchase it without knowing whether I can increase the font. The last one I had (RedPill) was brilliant and I really loved it, but it won't work with Catalina : (

I'd give this 5 starts if it was possible to adjust the font size.

Been using this a while and love it. I noticed it stopped working on Mojave so disabled it and wasn't aware until now that it had been fixed. Just updated and it is working for me on Catalina. Although, I'm not sure if it's a bug, but the rain looks so small. I'm sure it's a lot smaller than before. Unless you look very close, it now just looks like green lines almost. Anyone else? Please could this be looked at?

Fine but doesn't work any more on Catelina. Please provide an update.

Yes I have the same problem. It would be nice to have it on Mojave

Screensavers Planet: The file's been updated to work on Mojave. Please try again.

Great screensaver however I upgraded my MacOS to Mojave and it stopped working. Please fix as soon as possible. Thanks.

doesn't work for majove which sucks was really liking forward to it

Wasn't supported after Snow Leopard but managed to still work for whatever reason until Mojave came along. So don't download until developer says otherwise.. =/

Mac Screensaver Matrix

It only plays for a few seconds then shows a 'PURCHASE REGISTRATION' mark instead. MatrixGL is free and has the option to create 3D images from the characters (or not) as well as change the color, et cetera.

this is great though can it just be left at the code going down not the popup text and water marks

to remove payment advice open container folder and delete 'payment'.png file.

nice!!!

nice

like it

This screen saver is amazing! I just thought that a Matrix type screen saver would be really great to have, but I needed one for mac. This one worked perfectly, and I've gotten lots of comments on it. Sketchup pro 2016 patch file.

This is the best Matrix screensaver i have seen, it work perfectly on multiple monitors and looks great

An OpenGL-accelerated screensaver based on the scrolling green lines of code seen in The Matrix, the science fiction film directed by Lana and Lily Wachowski and starring Keanu Reeves. The scrolling code alternates with images of the main characters embedded into the code, though these (as well as the opening credits) can optionally be disabled via the screensaver's settings menu. The color of the code lines can also be changed.

This download will probably not be usable on computers running Microsoft Windows.

IT WONT LET ME DELETE, AND IT WONT WORKKKK 2 STARS FOR LOOKSS BUT IT WONT DELETEEEEEEEE

I am running Mac OS 10.15.7 (Catalina) and it works fine. I disabled the 3D. Great!

This works fine on MacOS Catalina, you just need to disable Gatekeeper with the following command: sudo spctl --master-disable

Doesn't work on macOS Catalina

This was easy to download, works awesome and there is a option to take the 3D off. I am very pleased and highly recommend this for Mac users. Best and most accurate one I could find.

Doesn't work on macOS Catalina 10.15.2

great

I didn't get this one at first because I didn't like the 3D images part, but the Matrix Mania one only plays for a few seconds then displays 'PURCHASE REGISTRATION' instead so I gave this one a shot. This one is free and one can disable the 3D Image, effectively making it like the other one. There's also color options.

thanks mate

Really nice

not working with retina display

I luv them
