Bring the RainStorm to your desktop.

Do you feel cozy and relaxed when there's a storm pitter-pattering outside your window? RainStorm generates stunning procedural rain across your screens — a living, breathing workspace that helps you find your flow.

Lives in your menu bar · macOS 14 Sonoma or later

Unlike white-noise apps that just play audio, RainStorm overlays a beautiful procedural rain simulation with real recorded storm audio — bringing mother nature into your routine without getting in your way.


Integrated with your workflow

It stays out of your way — until a storm comes.

RainStorm lives in your menu bar and is loaded with productivity features, so the rain always fits your day.

App Blocking

Prevent storms automatically when any chosen apps are active — like Slack, VLC, Netflix and more. No sudden storms in the middle of The Sopranos.

Meeting Detection

Uses microphone and camera activity to pause or stop every storm the instant a meeting begins.

Pomodoro Mode

A focused 25/5 cycle: work hard for 25 minutes, then let a 5-minute storm reset your mind for the next sprint.

Quiet Hours

Set specific times of day to pause all scheduled storms for total, uninterrupted silence.

Power Aware

Optionally pause scheduling on battery. Active storms keep going, and the countdown resumes when you plug back in.

Aggressively Optimized

Built natively so your CPU and RAM stay focused on your work, not the weather. Without compromising the visuals.


Configure your brains out

Curate the perfect climate vibe.

Tune the Storm Scheduler until everything is just right — from short, intense Hawaiian bursts to milder, long-lasting Pacific Northwest drizzles.

  • The Storm Scheduler

    Set how often storms occur, how long the rain lasts, and how strong a storm tends to be.

  • All Natural

    Randomness is baked in — RainStorm avoids precise, robotic intervals, just like the real thing.

  • Storm Audio Slider

    Adjust rain volume right from the menu bar to mix perfectly with your music or podcasts.

  • Screen Dimming

    Control exactly how much the storm dims your screen. When the clouds part, your brightness returns.

  • Intensity Control

    Want your downpours to feel more like a drizzle? Cap the visual intensity to taste.

Immerse yourself

The rain comes to you. Don't worry — you won't get wet.

Watching a video of rain is nice. Living inside one is better. RainStorm renders the storm right onto your desktop.

Metal Graphics

Gorgeous rain rendered natively with Apple's Metal engine for high-performance, lag-free visuals.

Real Audio

Dozens of high-quality recordings of real storms, automatically matched to the intensity on screen.

Click-Through

A visual-only overlay that ignores your mouse. Keep writing code, reviewing docs, or studying through the storm.

No Two Alike

Raindrops are generated randomly with realistic wind physics and parallax layers for true depth.

Multi-Display

One screen or four — RainStorm generates a unique storm across every built-in and external monitor.

Living Atmosphere

Four intensity stages — drizzle, rain, downpour, and clear — ramp in and out like real weather.
