Snowglobe puts weather on your desktop. Snow gathers along the top of your windows, rain splashes where it lands, leaves pile up until you sweep them away. It stays on the desktop, behind your apps, and you switch it from the menu bar. Nothing to set up.
Snow settles along the top of every window. Shake a window and it all comes down.
Sweep your pointer through a drift to pack a snowball. Push it and it grows. Pick it up, drop it on another, and you get a face, arms and a hat.
Rain falls across the desktop and breaks on the edge of your windows, with lightning now and then.
Blossom drifts down and rests on your windows, and moves with them.
Autumn leaves gather on your windows. Brush past and they scatter.
Meteors streak across the desktop and break into sparks where they hit.
A flaring Sun and all eight planets at their real positions for today's date, with moons and rings. Pull the lever to run time forward or back, pick a planet, zoom in.
Switch effects with one click or ⌘1–6.
App windows always cover it, so it never gets between you and your work.
Light, medium or heavy — pick how much weather you want.
One switch shows a scene that fits the weather (five included). Switch it off and your own background is back; the app never changes your system wallpaper.
Works across all your displays.
No account, no data collected, no network access.

Their positions around the Sun are computed from NASA JPL orbital elements for the date shown. Distances and sizes are compressed so everything fits on screen. Positions are most accurate between 1800 and 2050, and the moons orbit at a sped-up pace.
