Biology as Equations Screensaver
The Biology as Equations screensaver shows a rotating draw from EMBL-EBI's BioModels, key-less. Each entry is a working simulation of something alive. The window is randomised rather than sorted: BioModels ids are not chronological, so sorting by id would look meaningful and mean nothing. It's free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
How the Biology as Equations screensaver works
The saver reads the source described above and draws it on a canvas — no account, no tracking.

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