RainWiper

Adds realistic rain, fog, droplets, and a wiper overlay to web pages, with optional real-weather sync.

● A playful Chrome extension that brings real-looking rain to your browser. Watch droplets bead up on your screen like a window, the view gradually fogs over, and a wiper-button click (or ESC) sweeps it clean. That satisfying moment of clearing is the whole point. ▼ New in v1.0.8 ・Much lighter — even heavy rain stays smooth over a playing video ・More real droplets: a shaded rim, light pooling at the base and a crisp glint ・Sliding drops catch on the glass, kink, sometimes pause, and each moves at its own pace ・One-screen popup — pick a rain type with a single tap ▼ Good for ・Browsing in a rainy-day mood ・Soft background rain sound while you work ・A small break, or as a demo accent ▼ Main features 🌧️ Real-looking rain 　・Lens refraction on larger drops — they bend the page behind them 　・Drops have organic, irregular shapes (no stamped-circle look) 　・Sliding drops zig-zag and leave soft-edged wet trails that the wiper progressively clears 　・Fog thickens over time and slowly returns after a sweep 　・Drop arrivals are synced to the rhythm of the rain audio ⛈️ 7 rain types (manual switch supported) 　・Drizzle / Light rain / Rain / Heavy rain / Downpour / Thunderstorm / Snow 　・Thunderstorm plays lightning flashes and thunder claps 　・Snow mode gives a frosted, "icy window" cloudy effect 🌍 Real-weather sync 　・Set a location and it polls Open-Meteo (free, no API key) every 30 min 　・Auto-on when it's raining there, auto-off when it stops 🚗 Wiper and Auto wiper 　・Click the bottom-right button or hit ESC to wipe 　・Double-click for Auto wiper (wipes based on rain intensity, or at a fixed 2–12 s interval) 　・Switch between tandem and opposed two-blade layouts 🪶 Light mode 　・Cuts the heaviest effects when the GPU is busy (e.g. video) 　・Simpler look, much lighter on your computer 🎬 Video-friendly mode 　・Lightens the fog only — drop visuals stay rich 　・For when you want rain over a video without the fog cost 🔊 Three independent volume sliders 　・Rain sound / Wiper sound / Thunder sound, each controlled separately 　・Mute thunder for a bedroom session, keep the rain ambience 👁️ Bottom-right button — 3 visibility modes 　・"Auto-hide" (default): invisible until your cursor approaches 　・"Always shown": faint at rest, opaque on hover 　・"Completely hidden": gone entirely (ESC and Auto wiper still work) 🛡️ Privacy 　・Location is used only to query Open-Meteo (open-source, free API) 　・No tracking, no other external transmission 　・All settings stored locally in your browser ▼ Controls ・Per-tab ON/OFF (popup "Rain on this tab" switch) ・Pick a rain type with the buttons in the popup ・Click the bottom-right button → run the wiper ・Double-click → toggle Auto wiper ・Long-press (550 ms) → toggle Light mode ・Shift+click → toggle sound ・Drag the button anywhere you like ▼ Notes ・Doesn't run on chrome:// or Chrome Web Store pages (browser restriction) ・Older browsers without backdrop-filter support will miss the refraction effect Enjoy your rainy day 🌧️
