Hey Product Hunt, I’m Matt, the indie developer behind Weatherling.
Weatherling started as a simple idea: what if your Mac desktop could feel a little more alive while you work? Not as a distracting overlay, but as something ambient, playful, and native-feeling.
It brings rain, snow, wind, and leaves to your desktop windows. The weather reacts to window geometry, so rain can fall behind windows, collect around edges, and move with wind direction. It does not need screen recording permission and does not collect your window contents.
The newest part is the Lings™, tiny visitors who wander through the weather. You can collect them in boxes, chase rare combinations, and share your Ling Score. Put the rarest Lings in the rarest boxes for the highest score.
Weatherling has already reached #8 in Utilities on the Mac App Store, and I’m excited to share it with the Product Hunt community and hear what you’d like to see next.
I’d love to hear what draws you in most: the ambient weather or collecting Lings. What weather effect or Ling would you like to see next?
Thanks for checking it out. This has been a weirdly fun little Mac app to build.
