Download Let It Snow (Mac) – Download & Review Free

Once the winter has arrived, users everywhere want to have some kind of token on their desktops to remind them of the fast approaching holidays.

Let It Snow is an app designed to do exactly that by displaying on your Mac’s screen a very realistic snow fall that will slowly cover your active window, as well as the bottom of your desktop.

Besides allowing you to experience a virtual snowfall on your Mac’s desktop, it also manages to act as a full winter weather simulation environment

However, after it starts, Let It Snow will do more than just display snow falling on your display. It is also designed to simulate the melting of the snow and automatically set off random gushes of wind, in order to keep you entertained at all times.

In addition, due to its remarkably real-like animations, Let It Snow manages to tick all the checkpoints such an app should. It looks realistic enough to make you feel the spirit of the holidays and it has very little system resource needs, so that it doesn’t interfere with your other tasks.

Inconspicuous and user-friendly snowfall simulator for your Mac’s screen

Let It Snow lives in your Mac’s status bar menu and its Preferences window can be summoned with just a mouse click. From there you will be able to tweak the amount of snowflakes it displays, their size as well as the speed at which they’re falling down.

What’s more, you can setup Let It Snow to display multi-colored snowflakes, as well as choose the interval of time needed for the settled snow to thaw.

Albeit not being very useful as a part of your daily workflow, it brings enough novelty to your desktop to make for it

The only thing that Let It Snow would need to be perfect, would be multi-monitor support. As it is right now, Let It Snow will automatically run on the screen that OS X considers to be your main display.

Although it won’t be a productivity booster of any sort, Let It Snow is still a good app to have installed if you’re a fan of unconventional entertainment apps.
