Folding@home Projects Screensaver
The Folding@home Projects screensaver shows the research actually being computed right now on volunteers' machines, gathered key-less by the pipeline: which disease each project targets and who is running it. It's free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
How the Folding@home Projects screensaver works
The background pipeline reads this from Folding@home and saves a snapshot the saver loads.

It refreshes on a schedule, so what you see stays current.
Colours can be changed in settings; nothing is stored beyond your own browser.
