A little app for your Mac

Winter came to your Mac. It brought a fox.

Snow falls across your desktop and piles up on your windows and Dock while you work. A little fox moves in.

A Mac desktop with snow piled on top of three open windows; the fox has dived headfirst into the deepest drift, only its tail sticking out.

Your desk, on a snow day

  1. Morning: a few flakes and the thinnest dusting of snow on the windows.
    9 am

    You look up from an email and it has started to snow.

  2. Midday: a rounded cap of snow on every window, the fox asleep on the biggest.
    1 pm

    Your windows are wearing white hats. Something small and orange is asleep on one.

  3. Dusk: deep drifts on every window, the fox diving into one tail-up.
    6 pm

    Deep drifts on everything. Closing the lid feels like leaving a cabin.

It isn't a screensaver. It lives there.

Pounces into the deep bits

When the snow gets deep enough it wiggles, leaps and dives in headfirst. For a moment only the tail sticks out.

Hangs on when you drag

Move the window it's sitting on and it grabs the edge and swings. Shake hard enough and it tumbles off, a bit offended.

Peeks at your cursor

It watches the pointer from behind your windows. Rest the cursor on it for a second and you're petting it.

Quiet as snowfall

No sounds, no Dock icon, nothing to tend. You work straight through it. It steps aside for full-screen films and calls, sleeps when your Mac does, and the snow you've built up is still there in the morning.

Keeping winters snowy

Pretend snow that looks after the real kind.

Real winters are getting shorter. So every copy of Windowlings pays to take CO₂ back out of the air and lock it away for good.

  • Removed, not offset. It funds permanent carbon removal, chosen by climate scientists.
  • Out of our share. You pay the same price either way.
  • Gentle on your Mac. It stops drawing whenever your screen sleeps or an app goes full screen.

Run through Stripe Climate.

Questions

Is it safe to install?

Yes. Apple scanned it for malware before release (that's called notarisation), and your Mac checks Apple's approval when you open it. It never records your screen and collects nothing about you. The one thing it may ask, as an option, is Accessibility, so it can read your Dock's exact size and the fox sits right on it.

Is it a subscription?

No. You pay once and it's yours for good, with every winter update. Future seasons (spring, autumn) will be optional add-ons.

Will it slow my Mac down?

It's built to stay light: it redraws only what changes and stops completely in full-screen apps and while your display sleeps. If it ever bothers you, Pause for an hour is one click in the menu bar.

Does it work on my Mac?

Any Mac running macOS 14 Sonoma or later, Apple silicon or Intel.

I'm on my phone. How do I get it?

Buy here and you'll see your licence key straight away, with a button to send it and the download link to yourself. Open that on your Mac.

How does it keep winters snowy?

Part of every sale goes to Stripe Climate, which buys permanent carbon removal: CO₂ taken out of the air and stored for good. It comes out of our share, not on top of your price.
