SkyBit turns the weather into a tiny pixel-art world. Open the app and watch a hand-crafted 16-bit scene react to the real sky above you: rain falls in chunky droplets, snow drifts pixel by pixel, the sun pulses, lightning flickers, and at night the moon glows in its true phase. Powered by accurate data from the most reliable sources, SkyBit gives you precise current conditions, an hourly timeline, and a 10-day forecast — all wrapped in a retro aesthetic you'll actually want to look at. PIXEL-ART THEMES Dress the whole app in 24 hand-tuned palettes. Every animation re-colors itself to match — rain turns pink-purple in one theme, green in another. WIDGETS & APPLE WATCH Put SkyBit on your Home Screen and Lock Screen with pixel widgets in every size. On Apple Watch, get a full app plus complications, all in the same crisp pixel style.
