## About

Wonderfall is a macOS menu bar app for adding animated snow, rain, falling leaves, petals, fireflies and decorative lights to your desktop. Effects can appear behind windows or over apps, across connected displays or in a smaller area, while your existing wallpaper stays in place.

Choose a theme and adjust intensity, size, speed, wind and motion. Import up to 10 images, add menu bar or Dock lights, and optionally interact with gathered snow, leaves, petals or raindrops. Local weather matching is available when enabled. Settings and effects work locally on your Mac.
