What is Dolphins 3D?
Dolphins 3D is a Mac live wallpaper and screen saver designed to turn the desktop into an animated underwater scene with dolphins, ocean life, and ambient visual effects. It is made for users who want a decorative desktop background or a more immersive screen saver than the standard macOS options. The app focuses on full-screen animated scenery rather than productivity features, making it a simple entertainment customization app for home and office Macs. Common uses include adding motion to the desktop, running a themed screen saver when the Mac is idle, and using multi-monitor setups with matching animated visuals. 3Planesoft offers it as part of its collection of 3D screensavers and live wallpapers for Mac.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This is a decorative desktop app, so its normal activity is limited to rendering animated graphics and integrating with screen saver or wallpaper behavior on your Mac. It may use CPU, GPU, and battery power while active, especially on older Macs or when running continuously on high-resolution or multiple displays. That kind of resource use is expected for animated wallpaper and screen saver software. If you notice slower performance or extra battery drain, close it or disable it from your desktop customization settings when you are not using it.
Recommendation: Keep Dolphins 3D if you use it for animated desktop backgrounds or screen saver scenes. If you do not use desktop customization apps or want to reduce background graphics activity, you can remove it without affecting macOS beyond losing this wallpaper and screen saver content.
