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.

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

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.

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.

I was looking for a screen saver that was unique and what I finally found was a screen saver that looked like the cascading code from the Matrix movies. What’s better, this particular screen saver grabs the latest commits from GitHub and uses them in the green cascade.

To grab it for yourself, go here: https://github.com/winterbe/github-matrix-screensaver

What I’d really like to do is feed in data from a custom database, such as of new user signups. I’ll be researching this and posting a tutorial soon!
