Somewhere it is raining right now. Window is a small painted view onto a real place. Not a photo and not a video loop, but an illustrated window that runs on that place's actual weather and its actual time of day. When it rains there, rain runs down your glass. Beads gather, cling, then break and race down the wet channels. When the sun sets there, your window goes gold and then deep blue, on that place's clock, not yours. Snow settles. Fog softens the distance. Cloud flattens the light. You do not do anything with it. That is the point. Open it while the kettle boils, leave it on the desk beside your work, put it on the counter while you cook. It is somewhere else, carrying on without you. What makes it different Most calm apps give you a video that plays the same way every time. Window is drawing what is happening in a real place at this moment. Open it twice in a day and you get two different views, because the place moved on. What is inside Six windows onto six places, each with its own light and its own weather. Live conditions: clear, cloud, rain, snow and fog, each rendered its own way. True day and night, from that place's real sunrise and sunset. Optional ambient sound, off unless you want it. Built for quiet. Dark, uncluttered, nothing that beeps at you. Window Pro Two windows are free, forever. Pro opens the full set and adds a new window every month. Weather data by WeatherAPI.com.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: YouGov at none against Window's 2. YouGov also leads on device support (3 vs 1). Window's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
