Rain, snow, and autumn leaves. New Lings. A little more life.
Weatherling brings rain, snow, and little visitors to your desktop. Drops splash on your windows, pool along their edges, and run down the sides. Snow gathers on window tops and tumbles down when they close. Little visitors called Lings™ come and go, and when you feel like a break, you can pick them up, drop them into boxes, and build your collection.
Autumn leaves drift in the wind and settle on your windows. Shake a window to scatter them, watch water carry them along, and see Lings kick them up as they walk.
A LITTLE WEATHER, A LITTLE PLAY
Multiple Lings are waiting to be discovered, each with their own personality.
Turn on Interactive mode in the Lings settings to click and hold a Ling. Drop your Ling into a box to collect points, or let go elsewhere and see how they make their escape.
COLLECT, DISCOVER, SHARE
Discover new combinations as you build your collection. Optional floating points show your score change when you collect a Ling.
See your total points and collection of Ling-and-box combinations in Settings. Share My Score makes a card right on your desktop: copy it, save it as an image, drag it into a message, or use the share menu. Social shortcuts open a post for you to finish, with the card ready to paste or attach.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Weatherling runs in the App Sandbox without Screen Recording or Accessibility permission. It reads window positions, never titles or contents. The rain stays click-through; only Lings respond to your mouse when interaction is enabled.
No account, no in-app analytics, and no score server. Your collection and score stay on your machine unless you choose to share a score card or text through another app or website.
One purchase. No subscription or in-app purchases.
