Pricing
Weatherling costs $1.99 in the US, paid once on the Mac App Store. There is no subscription, no in-app purchase and no account, and every future update is included. It runs on macOS 14.0 Sonoma or later, on Apple silicon and Intel Macs.
“Does What It Says, And Does It Well”
“Really, is there anything better than a simple app whose only use is aesthetic joy and where it does exactly what it says it does without any hassles? This is what the $1.99 price point is all about. You don’t need it, but someone worked hard enough on it to make you want it, so why not pay them for the effort as a way to say “Nice job.””
Weatherling 1.7 is now available on the Mac App Store.

New in 1.7
Weatherling 1.7 adds templates you can save and share, grass along your windows, colors of your own, more Lings, and optional Game Center.
- Templates save your whole scene under a name, with an optional emoji. Start from Rainy Day, Snow Drift, Autumn Day, or Techno, then load, rename, copy, or delete your own from the Templates menu at the top of the tray.
- Grass grows along the tops of your windows, with moss and soil beneath. Rain makes it grow faster, wind bends the blades, and it has its own height slider and Random setting.
- Give each effect a color of your own: the palette button beside a slider sets the color, intensity, and brightness of rain, snow, fog, sunlight, leaves, or grass. Natural brings back the original.
- More Lings to discover.
- Optional Game Center: compare lifetime and weekly scores on leaderboards and earn achievements. It stays off until you turn it on in Settings, and the weather, collecting, and your score all work without it.
Outside the US
$1.99 is the US price. Apple sets the equivalent price for every other storefront, including local taxes, so the App Store shows what you will actually pay before you confirm.
Try before you buy
There is no trial version, but the home page runs a live web version of the same idea, rain landing on and running down windows, so you can see whether it suits you before spending anything.
Refunds
Purchases are handled by Apple, so refunds are too. If Weatherling is not for you, request one at reportaproblem.apple.com. If something is broken rather than just not to your taste, the Support page is a faster route to getting it fixed.
