Pickleball Screensaver app icon A pickleball trailing flames
Built for actual pickleball degenerates. Classic or black-light court. Singles or doubles. Weather, tournaments, drills, and a live scoreboard, all rendered natively with CoreGraphics.
No static wallpaper pretending to be a screensaver. This one runs a real rally, rotates useful court-side widgets, and still stays lightweight enough to feel native on your Mac.
