## What is ZonDot?

ZonDot answers three questions. 

1 - How much sun today. A number in hours, not a picture of a cloud.

2 - When the sun starts and stops. Sunrise, sunset, and the span between them
drawn as it passes.

3 - What the wind and rain are doing. Rain in words rather than millimetres:
drizzle, light, moderate, heavy, downpour.

THE DAY IN 24 DOTS
One dot per hour. Yellow is sun, grey is cloud, blue is rain. A filled dot
is an hour still ahead of you, a hollow one has gone, and a ring marks the
hour it is now. The whole day reads in a glance, without a single number.

DRAG TO ANY HOUR
Slide a finger across the chart and the reading follows: the hour, the
temperature, the sky. Let go and it returns to now.

THE DAYS AHEAD
Ten days, each a row of the same 24 dots, with its hours of sun beside it.
Open any day to read it hour by hour, the same way you read today.

TEMPERATURE, WIND, RAIN
Three readings on one timeline, opened together when you want them and
folded away when you do not.

WIDGETS
Three faces: one on the home screen, two on the lock screen. How long
until the sun, and the stretch worth planning around.

WHAT ZONDOT DOES NOT DO
No account. No advertising. No tracking, and no analytics of any kind.
No location permission either: the app has no location code in it, so iOS
never asks. You choose a city by name.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-09

NEW
German, French and Spanish. Six languages now.
Rain radar on the main screen: what kind of rain, and between which hours.
CHANGED
UV now takes the cloud above you into account. It used to read a grey afternoon as a clear sky.
Appearance is picked on a panel over the live forecast: the ground changes under it, nothing jumps.
Widgets rebuilt: one for the home screen and six for the lock screen, so the tile answers whatever you go outside for.
GONE
The light theme and the system setting. One dark ground, three shades.
The medium home widget. It said what the small one says, in twice the space.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-14

No release notes.
