An After Dark-style aquarium screensaver for macOS
Claude Code spent about a week building a macOS aquarium screensaver, using Blender for the 3D assets and generating its sound algorithmically.

The full story
Missing the After Dark screensavers of their childhood, the maker had Claude Code reimagine one. Aquarium took Opus, with occasional help from Fable, about a week; the models used Blender to build the 3D assets and the sound grains were made algorithmically. A pre-built binary for Apple Silicon is in the repo, and more screensavers are planned.
