Looking for a free way to add a little cheer to your Mac for the holidays? Snowy is a free Mac App Store app that includes Christmas lights, a fun snow effect, and a festive, Aqua-inspired wallpaper.
Snowy lives in the Menu Bar on your Mac. From there, you can toggle both snow and holiday lights on and off. You can also decide to always show snow or hide snow behind open app windows. Snow intensity can also be adjusted from the default to adjust how much snowfall appears when active.
The holiday lights feature has two more settings: pattern and color. Patterns include twinkle, wave, steady, and classic. In classic mode, which is my preference, the bulbs appear in retro 16-bit. Color options are multicolor, warm white, candy cane, blue, and rainbow.
The free Mac app includes a free desktop wallpaper called Aqua Winterscape. It features a Christmas tree decorated in Aqua-design Mac window controls as ornaments. You can revert back to your previous wallpaper with one click from the Snowy Menu Bar app.
Snowy is a brand new app that you can download for free from the Mac App Store here, or directly from the web here. Give it a shot if you want some whimsical winter fun on your Mac!
