CoconRain on your Mac desktop
Fine drops and long streaks fall over your wallpaper and splash at the foot of the screen, while your windows stay readable on top.
Rain falling over a Mac desktop wallpaper. This is the real app, recorded on a Mac.
For macOS 14 Sonoma and later
What you get
Rain is drawn live by the GPU, drop by drop, just above your wallpaper. Every window you open covers it, so the rain never gets between you and your work, and it never takes a click.
One slider changes both the picture and the sound. At a low setting you get a light drizzle, with isolated drops; pushed up, it becomes a heavy downpour. The sound is not the same recording louder: Cocon moves from one real rain recording to the next as the intensity rises.
Settings
- Volume control (free)
- Visual intensity (Cocon Pro)
- Wind and gusts that bend the rain (Cocon Pro)
Good to know
Rain is a classic for writing, reading and long work sessions. 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.
