What is the Flying Toasters screensaver?
Flying Toasters is the most famous module from After Dark, a screensaver package released by Berkeley Systems in the early 1990s. It shows winged chrome toasters and slices of toast flapping across a black screen, and it became a cultural icon of 90s computing. This page recreates the effect in your browser using HTML5 Canvas, with several modes and adjustable settings.
Is this the original After Dark Flying Toasters?
This is an original browser recreation inspired by the classic After Dark Flying Toasters look — winged toasters and flying toast on a black background. It is not affiliated with Berkeley Systems or the original software. It runs entirely in your browser so you can enjoy the nostalgia on any modern device without installing the old software.
How do I run this fullscreen as a screensaver?
Click the animation or press Enter Fullscreen in the sidebar. The toasters will fill your entire screen. Move your mouse to reveal the exit button, or press Escape to return to normal view. You can also press F to toggle fullscreen at any time. It looks great on a TV or a spare monitor.
Do I need to download or install anything?
No. This Flying Toasters screensaver runs entirely in your browser using HTML5 Canvas. There is nothing to download or install. It works on any modern browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android.
What is the Daydream sky mode?
Later versions of After Dark added a daytime sky background with clouds behind the flying toasters. The Daydream mode recreates that look with a light blue sky and slowly drifting clouds, while Classic mode keeps the original black background.
Can I change how many toasters appear?
Yes. Use the Toasters slider for how many fly at once, Speed and Size for their motion and scale, Toast for how much flying toast appears, and Flap for wing speed. The Toast Storm preset cranks everything up for a busy sky.
Is this Flying Toasters screensaver free?
