It piles up where it lands.

Snow collects on top of your windows and along the Dock. Move a window and it slides off.

Roll it, stack it.

Scrub the drift with your cursor to roll a snowball. Stack three for a snowman.

Questions.

What do I get?

Everything snowmac does: snow on your windows and the Dock, garlands, the snowplow, snowballs and snowmen, the control panel and the holiday radio. Every future update is included, monthly or lifetime.

Which computers does it run on?

Macs with macOS 13 Ventura or later, Apple silicon and Intel. PCs with Windows 10 (version 2004 or later) or Windows 11.

How do I unlock it?

Buy a license and you get a key. Open snowmac, choose Activate and paste the key. There’s no account to create. snowmac starts snowing once it’s activated.

Can I use it on more than one computer?

1 license = 1 computer, Mac or PC. For more computers, get more licenses: the Friends Pack is 4 lifetime licenses for $20.

I got a new computer.

A license stays with the first computer that activates it. Reinstalling on the same computer is fine. Need to move it? Write to support and we’ll help.

I lost my license key.

It was on the page you saw after paying and in your email. You can also get it by email or write to support with your Paddle receipt.

Will it slow my computer down or drain the battery?

The snow is GPU-composited and uses about 5–8% CPU while it falls. By default it pauses when your screen is locked, the computer sleeps or sits idle, and over full-screen apps. On battery power or in Low Power Mode it saves even more. Clicks always pass straight through the snow.

Monthly or lifetime?

Same app either way. Monthly is $5 and you can cancel any time. Lifetime is $10 once and never expires.

How do gift codes work?

The Friends Pack gives you your own license plus 3 gift codes. Each code becomes a lifetime license for one friend’s computer. They redeem it at snowmac’s redeem page.

Can I get a refund?

Yes, within 14 days of purchase, no questions asked. Payments and refunds are handled by Paddle. Refund policy.
