Field notes
The site describes layered flakes, uneven window-top piles, pointer-driven clearing, and snow that reacts to window movement. Its browser demo exposes controls for intensity, wind, pile-up speed, and seasonal effects, while the Mac app is listed for macOS 14 and later. The page says early access is free and lists a £4.99 one-time price after a seven-day trial; the Mac App Store version is marked in review.
