Showing webpages as a screensaver in Mac OS X

Is there a way to show a collection of web pages as a screensaver in Mac OS X? Among other things I would need this app to be able to maintain sessions and either share them with Safari or Chrome or let me interact with it to log in. The goal is to show a rotation of status pages, like New Relic, Linode's LongView, etc, etc as a dashboard for everybody to see. I don't mind spending money to buy a solution.

I tried:

  • websaver: https://code.google.com/p/websaver/ but not only it allows one web page (I need several, in rotation) but I also couldn't figure out how to access its session to log in into the dashboards I want to show.

  • Website Wallpaper: almost there, but it only allows one page instead of a set of rotating ones. Another issue that I just found is that after restarting, it loses the session.

I wanted to try:

  • WebSaver (different to websaver), but their web site has been down for a more than 6 days already: <link removed - spammy website>

  • Desktopr (from Sandwichlab as well), but it's only available for US accounts in the App Store.


Solution 1:

Since there was not easy, straightforward or complete solution to this problem, I decided to create it: Screensaver Ninja.

The Mac OS X version was already released and the Windows version is being crowdfunded.
