## What is RouteSky?

Most weather-route apps hand you a forecast, then send you to a different app to actually drive. RouteSky does both.

Turn-by-turn navigation with the weather for your entire route — lined up with the minute you'll reach each point, not just the forecast where you're going.

Know what you're driving into before you leave, and while you're moving.

THE WHOLE ROUTE, NOT THE DESTINATION
RouteSky samples conditions the length of your corridor and matches them to your real arrival times. See where rain starts, where visibility drops, where the wind picks up on an exposed bridge — and when you'll be there.
• Live weather corridor powered by Apple Weather
• Rain onset, fog layers and clearance, snow accumulation, ice risk
• Crosswind and bridge-gust warnings for high-sided vehicles
• Golden-hour sun glare, so you know when you'll be driving into it
• Wiper-speed and low-beam prompts drawn from the real forecast

A JOURNEY SCORE THAT EXPLAINS ITSELF
Every route gets one honest number — and tells you exactly what drove it. No black box.
• Compare routes side by side on time and conditions
• See the specific risk drivers behind each score
• Tune the weighting to the drive you actually do

THE BEST TIME TO LEAVE
Sometimes the answer isn't a different road. It's a different hour.
• Compare departure times across a window
• Leave-time reminders before you need them
• A morning nudge to pre-warm or pre-cool when frost or heat is forecast

REAL NAVIGATION, NOT A COMPANION
• Full turn-by-turn with 3D guidance and spoken directions
• CarPlay — start on your phone, carry on at the dash
• Apple Watch app and complications
• Live Activity and Dynamic Island for the drive ahead
• Automatic rerouting and arrival detection
• Widgets, Siri Shortcuts and Spotlight
• Offline fallback when the signal drops

BUILT FOR THE DRIVE YOU'RE ACTUALLY DOING
Pick a driver mode and the app reshapes around it — the screen, the warnings, the route ranking.
• Commute — departure timing and comfort
• Taxi / Rideshare — a focused screen and fast hazard reports
• Long-haul — crosswind, bridges and rest-break reminders
• Coach / Bus — passenger comfort and smooth stops
• Motorcycle — exposure, grip and glare

HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT ISN'T
RouteSky is an advisory planning tool — not an emergency service, and not a substitute for attentive driving. Routes and forecasts are estimates from Apple Maps and Apple Weather, and they can be incomplete, delayed or wrong. What you see on the road always wins. We don't route by truck height or weight: Apple Maps can't, so we won't pretend to.

EVERY DAY, NOT JUST ROAD TRIPS
Save the commute you actually drive and RouteSky watches it for you — the score, the weather, and the hour to leave, on your Home Screen and your wrist before you pick up your keys.
• Saved trips and a daily commute
• Home Screen, Lock Screen and Watch widgets
• Ask Siri: "Check my commute", "Will it rain before I arrive?", "Plan a route"
• Spotlight finds your saved trips straight from search

PRIVACY
No account. No tracking. Location is used to plan and follow your drive. Community hazard reports are off by default, and anonymous if you switch them on.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 2.0.2026 — 2026-08-31

RouteSky 2.0 — the whole drive, read properly.

This release rebuilds how RouteSky reads a journey and how fast it gets out of your way.

WEATHER HORIZON
• The forecast is sampled along your entire corridor and matched to when you'll actually be at each point
• Rain onset, fog layers and clearance, snow accumulation and ice risk called out separately — not lumped into one icon
• Crosswind and bridge-gust warnings for high-sided vehicles
• Golden-hour glare tells you when you'll be driving into the sun

A JOURNEY SCORE THAT SHOWS ITS REASONING
• Every score now lists the risk drivers behind it, so you can see why one route scored lower
• Scores use the same forecast the route was planned with — no more mismatched numbers
• When weather genuinely isn't available, you get an honest "—" instead of an invented score

DEPARTURE + ARRIVAL
• Compare departure times across a wider window and see the calmest hour
• A morning pre-warm / pre-cool nudge when frost or heat is on your commute
• Drive-ended state with a one-tap replan when a journey finishes early

NAVIGATION
• Position-aware weather ahead while you're moving, not just at planning time
• Along-route hazard lookahead with a tunable radius
• Faster, steadier map: fewer redraws, lighter camera work, and a shared HTTP cache across every forecast provider

INTERFACE
• Liquid Glass tab bar and map controls on iOS 26, with a clean fallback on older releases
• Onboarding trimmed from seven steps to three
• Consistent 8-point spacing across every surface
• Restored translations across 37 languages

UNDER THE HOOD
• Rebuilt on Swift 6 with strict concurrency — fewer stalls, no data races
• Zero compiler warnings across the app and the Watch app
• 267 automated tests covering scoring, routing, offline behavior and the release path

As always: RouteSky is an advisory tool. What you see on the road wins.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-08-23

Weather Horizon — RouteSky now reads the whole drive, not just the forecast.

• Journey Score explains itself: see what's driving the weather score on each route — rain and hydroplaning risk, black ice, visibility, crosswind for your vehicle, sun glare.
• Best time to leave: a tappable strip of scored departure slots, re-checked locally so it's instant.
• Weather ahead while you drive: the remaining route is re-forecast from where you actually are, and an imminent change is spoken once.
• Community hazard reports (optional, off by default): share one-tap ice / fog / flooding / hail / wind / crash / closure reports anonymously and see other drivers' reports on your route, with a heads-up 2 km and 400 m ahead. Every report can be flagged or its author blocked; reports expire on their own.
• Fallback forecast (optional): if Apple Weather is unreachable, use Open-Meteo — clearly labelled.
• Trust Center updated with the community layer and a direct contact for Alderframe Ltd.
• Fixes and polish throughout navigation.

### 1.0.2026 — 2026-08-13
