Rain
Fine drops and long streaks that follow your intensity, with a soundscape that changes from a drizzle to a downpour.
Cocon — cosy ambiances for your Mac desktop
Rain, storms, snow and fire on your desktop. Never in front of your windows.
Mac App Store — coming soonFor macOS 14 Sonoma and later
Four ambiances
One slider changes both what you see and what you hear.
Storm
Fractal lightning, rolling thunder and heavy rain. The stronger the storm, the closer the thunder.
Fireplace
A warm, flickering glow rising from the bottom of your screen, with drifting embers and a crackling fire.
Snow
Photographic flakes at several depths, from soft bokeh to crisp crystals, with a quiet wind.
Made to stay out of the way
A menu-bar app, nothing else.
Never in front of your windows
Cocon cuts out every window, so the weather stays on your desktop and your work stays readable.
Click-through
The overlay never takes a click. Keep working as if it wasn't there.
No permissions
No screen recording, no accessibility access, no account. Just open it and breathe.
Sound that matches
Intensity changes the character of the sound, not just the volume.
Questions
Does Cocon slow down my Mac?
It is designed to be light: the overlay is drawn on the GPU, and the sound uses a small set of looping recordings.
Does it work with several screens?
Yes. Each screen gets its own overlay.
Does Cocon collect any data?
No. It has no account, no analytics and does not connect to the internet. Read the Privacy Policy.
Where can I get it?
Cocon is being prepared for the Mac App Store. This page will be updated at release.
