The screensaver works completely without an internet connection, as stated in the README's features, ensuring reliability and privacy.
It faithfully recreates the elegant animations from Apple's 2018 Brooklyn event, providing a polished visual experience that mirrors official Apple aesthetics.
Users can select specific animations, set loop counts, choose themes (light/dark), and randomize order, offering detailed control over the screensaver's behavior.
Installation is simplified via Homebrew with the 'brew install --cask brooklyn' command, making it accessible for macOS power users who prefer package managers.
The author explicitly states it's not maintained unless paid, meaning bugs may persist and compatibility with future macOS updates is uncertain.
Installation often triggers macOS security warnings, requiring terminal commands like 'sudo xattr -d' to bypass, which adds complexity and risk for non-technical users.
It only includes animations from a single 2018 Apple event, with no plans for expansion, making it feel dated compared to screensavers with diverse or updatable content.
