A fireplace on your Mac desktop
A warm, flickering glow rises from the bottom of your screen, with embers that drift upward, and a fire that crackles in your headphones.
A warm fireplace glow rising from the bottom of a Mac desktop. This is the real app, recorded on a Mac.

What you get
The fire is drawn in real time and lights up your wallpaper from below. It lives on the desktop, behind every window, and never takes a click: a quiet corner of warmth while you work.
The sound follows the flames. A low, warm bed of fire comes first; as you raise the intensity, a livelier fire and crisper crackling join in. It is built from real fire recordings, not a looped sample at a different volume.
Settings
- Volume control (free)
- Visual intensity (Cocon Pro)
- Embers on or off (Cocon Pro)
- Crackling on or off (Cocon Pro)
Good to know
A fireplace suits evenings, winter and any time you want the room to feel warmer. It is free, with a volume control.
Cocon lives in the menu bar. It draws on the desktop, behind your windows, never takes a click, needs no account and no special permission, and pauses when a full-screen app covers it.
