Screen Saver by Pedro Carrasco based on the animations presented during Apple Special Event (October 30, 2018) from the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Howard Gilman Opera House.

• Doesn't require internet connection
• Homebrew support
• Light & Dark theme
• Select which animations you want to see
• Loop each animation how many times you want
• Make the animations' order random

Independently of how you install Brooklyn, please close your System Preferences.

Screen savers can be set programmatically with this Terminal command :

defaults -currentHost write com.apple.screensaver moduleDict -dict moduleName Brooklyn path "$HOME/Library/Screen Savers/Brooklyn.saver"

1. Click here to Download
2. Open Brooklyn.saver (double click)
3. "Brooklyn.saver" can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer will appear, press OK
4. Open Preferences
5. Select Security & Privacy
6. Select General
7. On the bottom side, select Open Anyway

1. Open terminal
2. Enter brew install --cask brooklyn --no-quarantine

• Right-click on Brooklyn in System Preferences and select Delete Brooklyn, or
• Delete Brooklyn.saver either in /Library/Screen Savers or /Users/USERNAME/Library/Screen Savers.

1. Open terminal
2. Enter brew uninstall --cask brooklyn

Requires OS X El Capitan (10.11) or above.

The Brooklyn screen saver can be blocked by the system as a malicious software. Sometimes on macOS Big Sur clicking Open Anyway in Security & Privacy is not fixing the issue.

To bypass this quarantine made by apple, you can use this command in your terminal :

sudo xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ~/"Library/Screen Savers/Brooklyn.saver"
