Warm Mittens makes it snow on your Mac. Snow settles on your windows, icicles grow underneath, and a little snowplow clears the drift at the bottom of the screen. Throw snowballs at friends’ screens, or let the drift fill up as a Pomodoro timer. Free.
Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I’m Jesper, and I made Warm Mittens because it was snowing outside while my screen looked like July.
It’s a small menu bar app that makes it snow on your desktop, and the snow actually lands: it piles up on your window tops, falls off when you move them, and drifts up along the bottom of the screen until a little snowplow comes through (click it for a boost). Icicles grow under your windows while it snows, and you have to shake a window to snap them off.
A few extras I had fun with:
• Throw snowballs at friends' screens: aim, pick a note ("Lunch?"), splat
• Pomodoro mode: the drift fills over 25 minutes, then the plow clears it for your break
• Optional night-wind sounds
And with Pro (a one-time purchase):
• Santa on his snowmobile, towing the sleigh on a rope that sags and snaps taut
• A flamethrower person that melts the drift
• A giant snowball that rolls up the whole drift
• 100 snowballs a day instead of 10
It never covers your clicks, doesn’t read your screen, and has no tracking. I’d love to hear what you think, and if you add me as a snowball friend, I’ll throw one back.
