ScreenWisp Guide

1. Browse a screensaver first

• Search the main gallery by name, color, or mood.
• Combine Focus, Clock and Ambient purpose filters with Korean painting, Pixel, Decorative arts, Nature, Cinematic spaces and Cyberpunk style filters.
• Open a card to see the real clock and motion.
• Choose Run fullscreen to use it without creating a project.

2. Create your own screen

• Choose Create your screen or Create with this screensaver to open Studio.
• Add images, GIFs, video, text, clocks, and optional local audio.
• Static images no longer have a separate 10-image cap; they share the 20-element total with text, clocks, and media.
• Drag the corners or edges of an image, GIF, or video selection frame to resize width and height freely. Moving an object preserves the distance between the grabbed point and its center.
• Choose Use as background for a GIF or video to fill the canvas, move it to the back, and lock it. Unlock the layer to adjust it again.
• Set video and audio volume and loop points, then check the preview.

3. Choose a background and ratio

• Fill the background with a palette color or any custom color.
• Set two colors and an angle for a gradient.
• Background images support Fill, Fit, Fit + blurred fill and Original. Fit shows the entire image with the background color in unused space; blurred fill uses an enlarged, blurred copy of the same image.
• Image screensavers use prepared aspect-ratio variants and element layouts for the display area. Some ratios without a matching variant use the full image with blurred fill; edges may still be cropped depending on the ratio and composition.
• Choose the current display or a 16:9, 16:10, 21:9, 4:3 or 9:16 canvas.

4. Fullscreen and keep-awake

Fullscreen uses the browser Fullscreen API and must start from a user click. While fullscreen is active, ScreenWisp requests Screen Wake Lock to reduce automatic sleep.

Operating-system power policy can still turn the screen off. Check brightness and power use for long sessions, and prefer screensavers with fewer fixed bright elements on OLED displays.

5. Save and back up

• By default, changes save automatically to a local project in the current browser.
• Connecting folder storage in supported Edge or Chrome lets you compare browser projects with folder contents and select which projects to copy. Connecting alone does not automatically copy everything; browser originals are retained.
• In supported Chrome or Edge, approve read/write access to a folder. Each named project subfolder contains manifest.json, project.json and assets. A successfully generated cover is stored as preview.webp, but a project can work without it. Stable project IDs remain in the JSON files.
• After copying a project folder from elsewhere, return to the page and choose Refresh folder.
• Large media in folder storage uses available disk space instead of the browser site quota, but actual playback size and format still depend on the browser, operating system, and memory. The GIF import limit still applies.
• Export important projects as .ambientpack files and keep them separately. Large video can still be subject to a separate in-memory backup safety ceiling.
• Firefox and other browsers without folder access continue to use browser storage and .ambientpack transfer.

6. Media and privacy

Images, GIFs, video, and audio are processed inside the browser or the folder you explicitly approve rather than uploaded to a server. ScreenWisp does not arbitrarily read other device folders. Do not attach personal media or project backups to a support request.

Clearing browser site data can remove browser projects and the remembered folder connection, but it does not automatically delete files in the selected folder. Disconnect folder storage on a shared computer and confirm your backups.

7. Troubleshooting

• Before refreshing, check that Studio shows the project as saved.
• For browser storage, confirm the same origin and browser profile.
• For folder storage, reconnect the same folder and choose Refresh folder.
• Review browser permissions for site storage, folder read/write access, fullscreen, and screen wake.
• Use operating-system reduced motion or Studio’s Eco quality mode if motion is uncomfortable.
• If the issue remains, send support the reproduction steps and browser details with personal data removed.
