Desktop widgets that actually work
Three sizes: current 24-hour snowfall, a 5-day forecast chart, or a full 7-day view with two days of history. Glance at your desktop and know instantly if today is the day.
Never miss another powder day.
Requires macOS 14.0 or later
You live for fresh powder — but tracking it is a chore. Checking resort sites every morning, missing surprise overnight dumps, never quite knowing when a storm cycle is building. By the time a friend texts about the powder day, the fresh tracks are gone.
Powder Alert watches your favorite resort 24/7 and alerts you the moment snowfall crosses your personal threshold. Set your threshold. Get notified. Shred fresh powder.
