Every forecast becomes a place. Galactic Weather takes today's real conditions where you are and matches them to a world that feels the same way. Freezing and windy becomes a snowbound outpost. Scorching and clear becomes a lava-scarred moon. It's still your actual forecast — just rendered as somewhere instead of a number. WHAT YOU DO — Search any city, or use your location, and land on the world your weather matches right now. — Open the Atlas to see all 70 worlds and reassign which one shows up for any of the 28 weather conditions — make snow always show your favorite, not the default. — Collect stamps in your Passport by actually landing on a world — which means the real forecast somewhere on Earth had to match it at that exact moment. Some are common. Some mean waiting for a specific kind of storm, or checking the other hemisphere in July. ALSO ON APPLE WATCH — Glance at your wrist and see the same idea: today's forecast, matched to a world of its own. Wherever you are, wherever it's night, the watch shows it too. PREMIUM (ONE-TIME, $2.99) — Unlocks the other 50 worlds in the Atlas, so any condition can show any world in the full catalog. — See each world's night painting, not just its day one — it switches based on whether it's actually dark where you're looking, not what time it is on your phone. — Save up to 20 locations, synced across your devices with iCloud — instead of just the one. — No subscription. Pay once, keep it. Nothing recurring, nothing that expires. PRIVACY No account. No sign-in. No backend at all — Atlas assignments and saved locations live in iCloud on your own devices. Anonymous usage analytics are optional and never include your city, coordinates, or search history. Not a weather utility — there are better apps for radar and severe-weather alerts. This one is for the days you want to know not just the number, but what it feels like.
