The BTFishes screen saver looks for nearby Bluetooth devices (e.g. cell phones and other computers), and for each device summons a unique, colourful fish. It will also display a news feed of your choice.

BTFishes is available for Mac OS X version 10.4 (Tiger) and later. It's free both as in beer and as in freedom.

Download BTFishes 0.13

After installing BTFishes, the new screen saver will be available in your Desktop & Screen Saver preferences. Here you may turn the news feed display on or off, as well as choose another news source (RSS feed).

It will only scan for Bluetooth devices when the screen saver is running.
