On an older Mac?

Aerial 4.0.0 requires macOS 15 (Sequoia) or later. If you're on an older system, two legacy builds are still available — neither is maintained, and neither will receive new features or fixes.

Aerial Companion 1.5.2

The last build of the previous-generation app, for Macs that can't run macOS 15.

Important: after installing, open Companion's settings and disable auto-updates — otherwise it will prompt you to upgrade to a version your Mac can't run.

Download Aerial Companion 1.5.2

Aerial 3.6.3 (.saver)

The classic standalone screensaver bundle from the original repository, for the oldest macOS versions.

No companion app, no auto-updates — just the .saver installed via System Preferences.
