Before Dawn is a free, open-source screensaver platform that lets you run or create screensavers using nothing more than HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It’s cross-platform, so whether you're on Windows, macOS, or Linux, you'cve got options. It comes bundled with a quirky and creative collection of retro screensavers, including classics like starfields and defrag animations, plus some offbeat entries like emoji fireplaces and a spoof of the infamous Zombo.com. It’s got retro charm, modern tech, and loads of personality.

What really sets Before Dawn apart is how easy it is to make your own screensavers. Developers, tinkerers, or anyone who knows a little HTML can turn their web ideas into full-fledged screen animations. Want a screensaver that pulls in live data from a site? Done. Want to recreate the look of your favorite old-school arcade? Easy. There’s even a "Run a URL" option if you want to turn an entire website into your screensaver. Before Dawn is a geeky sandbox for creativity—and a fun way to give your idle screen a personal touch.
