## What is Weather Gnome?

Every forecast deserves a gnome.

Free, with no ads and no in-app purchases — and the Home Screen widget is never locked behind a paywall.

Weather Gnome tells you the weather the way a storybook would: a watercolor gnome greets you in every city, dressed for the sky outside — reading by candlelight on cloudy nights, sipping tea in the London rain, stargazing when the stars are out.

A SKY THAT'S ALIVE
Rain streaks past, snow drifts, stars twinkle, and fireflies wander the night. At sunrise and sunset, the whole sky turns to golden hour.

THE GNOME ALBUM
Every gnome you see is "befriended" and added to your collection — 241 to discover across weather, seasons, day and night… and a few that only appear in special places around the world. Can you find them all?

REAL WEATHER, TOLD GENTLY
Current conditions, feels-like, hourly and 7-day forecasts, wind, humidity, and precipitation — accurate to each city's own clock and timezone, with sunrise whispers like "The sun returns in 3h 23m."

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.3 — 2026-08-23

A better forecast, twelve new gnomes, and a Japanese edition.

• The forecast now comes from Apple Weather. More accurate conditions, and the Home Screen widget keeps its own numbers up to date.
• Chance of rain, right on the first screen. One glance tells you whether to take an umbrella.
• Twelve new gnomes to meet: seven city gnomes for Japan and five figures from its folklore. Two hundred and forty-one in all.
• The album reads like a proper field guide now — every gnome you have befriended shows its number and its name beneath it.
• The gnome who greets you stops shuffling. Same city, same sky, same friend waiting when you open the app.
• The whole app speaks Japanese now, gnome names and all.

Still free. No ads, no accounts, no tracking, and the Home Screen widget is never locked behind a paywall.

### 2.2 — 2026-08-14

A hundred and five new gnomes — and a closer look at every one of them.

• The album grew. Cold mornings, warm downpours, sleety walks, sun-breaks between the clouds, fog, thunder, and a good many quiet moments in between.
• The right gnome for the weather you actually have. Rainy and stormy days used to borrow gnomes dressed for milder weather; now each has its own, dressed for the temperature outside and not just the conditions.
• Tap any gnome in your album to see the painting up close, nearly full screen.
• New friends in the Mushroom Folk and Nightfall corners of the album.

Still free. No ads, no accounts, no tracking, and the Home Screen widget is never locked behind a paywall.

### 2.1.3 — 2026-08-10

A new face for the gnome — and a few gentle repairs.

• A brand-new app icon. Your gnome, painted closer up, so he's easier to find on a crowded Home Screen.
• The right gnome, more often. The weather outside and the gnome who greets you now match more closely — including autumn afternoons and the hours around sunrise and sunset.
• Clearer words when we ask for your location, so it's plain what it's used for: fetching your local forecast, and nothing else.
• A gentler line while the weather scroll unrolls.
• A new corner of Settings — More Gnome Friends — if you'd like to meet the other gnomes from our forest.

Still free. No ads, no accounts, no tracking, and the Home Screen widget is never locked behind a paywall.

### 2.1.2 — 2026-07-25

The widget gnome learns to tell time by the sun.

• The Home Screen widget now stays loyal to YOUR city — it no longer wanders off to whichever city you last peeked at in the app.
• The widget scene follows the actual sun: daytime art and skies by day, night scenes after sunset — flipping right at the sunrise and sunset boundary, even if you haven't opened the app.
• First run is smoother: the app waits properly for your location before revealing your town.
• A little mushroom now greets you on the launch screen, and the status bar stays readable in every light.

Sleep well, and mind the mushrooms.

### 2.1.1 — 2026-07-20

Your gnome comes to the Home Screen.

• NEW WIDGET — add a small or medium widget and your city's gnome keeps watch from your Home Screen, with the live temperature and today's sky. Long-press him to choose his backdrop.
• A warmer welcome — the app now asks where you live, and opens on your own weather.
• Clearer at a glance — a sturdier temperature, °F/°C shown plainly, and an "Updated just now" line so you always know how fresh the reading is.
• Sunset and sunrise now tell you the time, not only the countdown.
• Rain chances read consistently across every hour, and the hourly row always agrees with the conditions above it.

Sleep well, and mind the mushrooms.
