☔ Weatherling: Make it Rain and Snow on your Mac Desktop Windows
Hi all! I'm an indie dev working on a little app called Weatherling, which adds rain and snow to your Mac desktop.
I built this because I wanted to change the vibe while I work, so I started with a little rain. Then, it hit #8 on the Mac App Store for Utilities last week, and people asked for snow, so I added snow!
To keep the momentum going, I also added collectible little visitors called Lings. They come out to play in the weather, and if you enable Interactive mode, you can collect them in boxes. Rare Lings x Rare Boxes = Highest Combo Score. Share your score with friends to compete!
It's all very configurable. Adjust the rain and snow mix and intensity. Change the direction of the wind. You can even turn off the Lings if you only want to enjoy the weather. It's designed to be as visible or unobtrusive as you prefer. Make it your own.
It's completely sandboxed and on the Mac App Store. No extra permissions are required. No networked capabilities. No subscription. No in-app purchases. It all runs completely on your desktop.
I'm already working on the next version which should update later this week. People asked for falling leaves so leaves they shall have! 🍃 (I posted a sneak peek on my Twitter.) And more Lings coming too!
Check it out, and let me know what you think. All ideas welcome! Help me reclaim top 10. 🙏🏻
My personal take on what would make it even more awesome is more physics pertaining to window movement (e.g. intertial effect when moving window up and stopping abruptly, or sideways). Ling able to jump from window to window if close enough.

When the MacBook gets too hot, can we get a campfire mode too? 😂
