How the All Known Life, To Scale screensaver works
The saver reads the source described above and draws it on a canvas — no account, no tracking.
The Catalogue of Life tree drawn proportionally, read live and key-less from ChecklistBank. Beetles and their neighbours make animals enormous, and bacteria barely register — because naming a bacterium is hard, not because there are few of them.
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.
