Open Mantel from Applications
The first time, macOS will stop you with a message like this. Don’t worry, this is expected. Mantel isn’t on the App Store yet, so Apple hasn’t checked it. Nothing is wrong with your Mac or the app.
“Mantel” Not Opened
Apple could not verify “Mantel” is free of malware that may harm your Mac or compromise your privacy.

Let Mantel set up your screensaver
Sign in, then follow the app’s steps. It installs the screensaver for you and opens the right page in System Settings. If macOS blocks the screensaver too, the app shows a button for it. Or paste this into Terminal:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine ~/Library/Screen\ Savers/Mantel.saver - 5
Pick Mantel as your screensaver
In System Settings → Screen Saver, scroll to Other and choose Mantel. Set when it starts under Lock Screen → “Start Screen Saver when inactive”.
