SnowtopLet it snow on your desktop.
Snow falls over every app, piles up on your windows and taskbar, and slides off when you move them. Sweep it away with your cursor. Christmas lights and Jingle Bells included.
Windows 10/11 · macOS 12+ · one-time purchase · works on 2 computers
This is the real Snowtop engine running in your browser — the app does this over your actual desktop.
Winter, right on your screen
A tiny app in your tray or menu bar. It never gets in the way: clicks go straight through the snow.
Snow that piles up
Drifts build on the tops of your windows, the taskbar and the Dock — and slump to a natural slope.
Sweep it away
Run your cursor through a drift and the snow sprays into the air.
Fling a window
Drag a window fast and its snow flies off at the window's speed. Close it and the snow drops.
Lights & icicles
Twinkling Christmas lights along your windows, icicles growing underneath.
Jingle Bells
Optional cozy music with a volume control. Pick your favourite track.
Light on your computer
Uses little power, slows down on battery and pauses while a video or game is full screen.
One price. Every winter.
Try it free for 5 minutes, then unlock it with a license key.
Questions
Will it slow down my computer?
No. Snowtop draws on your graphics card, automatically uses less snow on slower computers, runs lighter on battery and pauses completely while a full-screen video or game is open.
Can I still click on things under the snow?
Yes. Every click goes straight through the snow to your apps. You can also pause the snow from the tray / menu bar icon at any time.
Windows says “Windows protected your PC”
That message appears for apps from small developers that Microsoft hasn't seen many times yet. Click More info → Run anyway. Snowtop installs into your user folder and doesn't need administrator rights.
How do I open it on a Mac?
- Open the downloaded .dmg and drag Snowtop into Applications.
- Open Snowtop. If macOS says it can't check it, open System Settings → Privacy & Security.
- Scroll down and click Open Anyway next to Snowtop, then confirm.
How does the license work?
After you pay you get a key like SNOW-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX by email and on the thank-you page. Open Snowtop, choose Enter license key… in its menu and paste it. One key works on 2 of your computers; you can move it by deactivating a computer.
Can I get a refund?
Yes — if Snowtop doesn't work for you, ask within 14 days and you get your money back. See the refund policy.
