Aerial is a Mac screen saver based on the new Apple TV screen saver that displays the aerial movies Apple shot over New York, San Francisco, Hawaii, China, etc.
Aerial is completely open source, so feel free to contribute to its development!

Two ways to install:
Option A: Open Aerial.saver and OS X will ask if you'd like it installed.
Option B: Place Aerial.saver in ~/Library/Screen Savers
To enable Aerial open System Preferences -> Desktop & Screen Saver -> Screen Saver
Choose Aerial and click on Screen Saver Options to select your settings.
- Auto Load Latest Aerials: Aerials are loaded directly from Apple, so you're never out of date.
- Play Different Aerial On Each Display: If you've got multiple monitors, this setting loads a different aerial for each of your displays.
- Favorites: You can choose to only have certain aerials play.
- Preview: Clicking on an aerial in the screen saver options previews that aerial for you.
Aerial is written in Swift, which requires OS X Mavericks or above.
