AfterDark

A collection of recreated After Dark screensaver modules you can run in your browser — yes, the flying toasters.

Exploring Started: Aug 2026 Updated: Aug 2026

Overview

A collection of the classic After Dark screensaver modules, recreated to run right in a browser tab. Flying toasters, an aquatic realm, marbles, mondrian, a spinning globe, fractal forests, mountains, clocks, and more — the modules that defined the “screen saver as ambient art” era.

How It Works

Each module is its own self-contained HTML/Canvas page, drawn programmatically, so any one can run full-screen on its own or be dropped in as a background elsewhere (the Weather Alert display uses them exactly that way). Some ship in a VGA-16 flavor for the full period-correct look.

Current Status

A growing set of playable modules, live in the browser.
