Field notes
The page offers a try area with intensity controls and a snowman button, alongside a download link. Snowfall is presented as a menu-bar app with no Dock icon; the page says users can choose whether it starts at login and that one purchase covers up to three Macs. Its FAQ explains that permission is needed for snow to appear on desktop icons and the Dock, and says the app checks their positions rather than their contents.
