You do need macOS Big Sur though.The Power Saving Auto-sleep feature is turned OFF while you are watching movies or videos on your Mac and not while you are reading or going through an interesting article on a website. Here’s how to enable the hidden Hello screen saver and I use an old Intel Mac for this. If anyone tries to access your Mac, they are prompted to enter a password. When you walk away from your Mac and it becomes idle, the screen saver starts. Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General and tick the checkbox Require password after sleep or the screen saver begins. These days they are partly for fun and partly for security. Years ago, screen savers were used to prevent image burn-in on old CRT monitors. Hello screen saver with optional clock display The screen saver displays the word ‘hello’ in different languages and different colors on the screen whenever the Mac is idle for a certain period of time. After adding it, it can be selected and enjoyed like any other screen saver on the Mac. However, there is a very simple way to add it to the other screensavers in System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > Screen Saver. The screen saver is there and it works, if only you could see it and select it. If you have a new iMac, you can see the new screensaver, but if you have any other Mac, you can’t. It is just too much work, so Apple simply bundles everything in macOS and selects what to show based on the model. Creating a custom version of macOS just so that the new iMac can have a different screen saver is not a good idea. Here I will focus on the screen saver and show how to install it on any Mac, whether it is an M1 or Intel-powered computer, desktop or laptop. To make this new iMac stand out from all the others that came before it, it has a number of new features, like new colors, new desktop wallpaper and new screen saver. The 2021 iMac is a bit special because it is a complete break from previous designs and it is the first of a new line of M1-powered Macs. Or is it? Actually, it is on other Macs, but it is hidden.

Apple’s new 24in M1-powered iMac has a unique screen saver that is not on older Intel iMacs and MacBooks.
