## What is HeadwindGo?

Every cyclist and runner knows the trap: the ride out feels easy, then you turn around and grind home straight into the wind. HeadwindGo tells you which way the wind is really blowing, relative to the direction you're actually heading, so you can plan the easy way out and the easy way home.

SEE THE WIND FOR YOUR DIRECTION, NOT JUST A COMPASS ARROW
- A big, clear dial shows headwind, tailwind or crosswind for the exact heading you pick
- Point it down your route and know before you start whether you'll be fighting the wind or flying
- Instant red / green / yellow verdict you can read at a glance, even mid-warm-up
- Wind speed and gusts in your units: km/h, mph, m/s, knots or Beaufort

PLAN THE OUT-AND-BACK THE SMART WAY
- HeadwindGo suggests heading OUT into the wind so you earn the tailwind on the way home, when you're tired
- Pick your turnaround time and see how the wind shifts through your ride
- A simple route heading tool: draw your out-leg and see head or tailwind for every stretch

KNOW BEFORE YOU ROLL OUT
- "Now vs later" compares the wind across the next hours so you can pick the calmest window
- Gust warnings for exposed, crosswind-prone days
- A quick verdict: great day to ride, headwind grind, or crosswind caution

BUILT FOR THE ROAD AND THE TRAIL
- Switch between cycling and running, and the advice adapts to your speed
- Powered by wind data from Apple Weather, right on your iPhone
- No account, no ads, no subscription, just a one-time purchase
- Your location is only used to fetch the local wind and never leaves your phone

Whether you're chasing a personal best, planning a long ride, or just tired of the headwind always being on the way home, HeadwindGo turns the invisible wind into something you can actually plan around.

Not a full offline app, it needs a connection to fetch fresh wind, but it stays light and gets out of your way. No ads. No subscription. One-time purchase.
