I love the Snoopy watch faces on my Apple Watch. Recently, Apple also released Snoopy screen savers for Apple TV and they are all funky and pleasant. It’s time before Apple adds these screen savers to the Mac. But if you don’t want to wait, here’s how to use Snoopy screensavers on your Mac right now.

Use snoopy screensavers on Mac

You can download the snoopy screensavers for Mac using tvOS build in Xcode. However, that involves several steps and downloading 8GB of Xcode software that you don’t need.

Thankfully, since I have already downloaded them, you don’t have to. You can click the link to the written guide in the video description and download the files from there.
