Screensaver
Every App Comrade review tagged Screensaver, across every platform.
A $9.99 Fire TV screensaver that asks you to pay for what YouTube gives away.
JasmineStyle's wildlife ambience loop is competent 4K filler for an idle television, but the price tag is doing a lot of work the footage isn't.

Particle Screensaver turns an idle LG OLED into a slow-moving abstract canvas.
A free webOS screensaver that loops procedurally-generated particle fields when the TV would otherwise sit on a static home screen — pretty, low-stakes, and exactly as deep as a screensaver should be.

Beautiful Butterflies Screensaver is decorative ambient wallpaper for the LG OLED living room.
A free LG webOS screensaver from Bright Data that loops butterfly imagery on an idle TV. The use case is narrow and the LG store offers no description — judge it on what it visibly is.

Bitcoin Price Screensaver turns an idle TV into a market ticker.
A $1.99 Roku channel that does exactly one thing — show the current Bitcoin price when nothing else is on the screen. Niche, honest, and oddly compelling.

Fall Screensaver turns the TV into a window onto a slow-moving forest.
A 99-cent channel from a one-name developer that does exactly one thing — paint autumn foliage across the living room when nobody is watching. The whole pitch fits on a postcard, and that's the appeal.

Mountains Screensaver turns the living-room TV into a slow window.
Two photographs of alpine ridgelines, cycled at a pace that respects the room. It is not ambitious and it does not need to be.

Happy Birthday TV Screensaver turns the living-room TV into a six-dollar party prop.
Storm Jam's $5.99 channel replaces the Roku default screensaver with a loop of birthday imagery — cake, candles, balloons, confetti. It does one job, charges once, and stays out of the way the rest of the year.

Peacock Screensaver is a bird, not the streaming service.
A small indie channel by a developer called JP that paints peacocks across your idle TV. Worth knowing what it isn't before you install.
MAY 10, 2026
Aurora Screensaver turns the idle TV into a slow weather report from the Arctic.
A free single-developer channel from a maker known only as JP that loops aurora borealis footage during Roku's idle state. It is exactly what it says it is, and almost nothing more.
MAY 10, 2026
Halloween Screensaver turns the TV into a $1.99 mantelpiece for October.
JP's seasonal channel does one thing — fill the screen with Halloween imagery when the box goes idle — and the question is whether one-thing-for-six-weeks is worth two dollars.
MAY 10, 2026
Sport Cars Screensaver turns the TV into a quiet auto-show wall.
A no-frills photo rotation of supercars and exotics, designed to fill an idle Roku with something more interesting than the Roku City clock.
MAY 10, 2026
Lotus Screensaver turns an idle TV into a quiet flower stand.
A free, ad-free Roku channel that fills the screen with still and slow-moving lotus imagery when the TV would otherwise sit on a logo carousel. Small, single-purpose, and exactly what it says on the tile.
MAY 10, 2026
Beach Screensaver is the Roku channel you install before guests arrive.
A free loop of shoreline footage that turns the TV into ambient furniture. It works, it's quiet, and it asks for nothing — which is exactly the brief.
MAY 10, 2026
Lighthouse Screensaver turns an idle Roku into a coastal painting.
A free channel from a solo developer that loops still photography of lighthouses across the living-room TV. It does one thing, and the one thing is calmer than whatever the Roku home screen wants to show you.
MAY 10, 2026
Santa Screensaver turns a Roku into a $2 December decoration.
A paid seasonal screensaver from a one-person developer. It does one thing for six weeks of the year and then sits dormant on the channel list.
MAY 10, 2026
Animated Moon is a single-loop ambient channel that does exactly what its name says.
A free Roku channel that puts a moving moon on your TV. There is nothing else in the box, and the question is whether you wanted anything else.
MAY 10, 2026
Valentine Cupids is a tiny seasonal screensaver doing exactly one job.
A holiday-bound Roku channel built around a single visual conceit — cupids drifting across the screen for a few weeks each February. It is not a streaming service, and it does not pretend to be.
