Stop overspraying on humid days or watching your scent disappear in dry, cold weather. SpritzCast checks your local conditions and tells you the right number of sprays for today. Every fragrance enthusiast knows the frustration: four sprays of your favorite cologne worked last week, but today people found it overwhelming — or worse, nobody can smell it at all. The reason? Temperature, humidity, and dew point changed. HOW IT WORKS 1. Set your skin type (dry, normal, or oily) and allow location for local weather. 2. SpritzCast fetches today's temperature, humidity, dew point, and wind speed. 3. You get a spray count tailored to your fragrance concentration and current conditions. It takes 10 seconds to set up. No account required. SPRAY COUNT GUIDE Enter your fragrance's concentration (Cologne, EDT, EDP, or Extrait) and get today's recommended spray count. The app adjusts for heat, humidity, dry air, and wind — factors that change how your scent projects and lasts. MY COLLECTION Save your fragrances with their concentration and scent family. See at a glance which ones fit today's weather. Upgrade to Pro for deeper insights: - Unlimited fragrances in your collection - Today's Best Pick — ranked from your collection - Estimated longevity and projection strength - Reapply reminder notifications - Hourly breakdown (morning vs afternoon) - Application point guide (where to spritz based on weather) - 7-day spray forecast PRIVACY FIRST All fragrance data is stored locally on your device. No account, no tracking, no ads. Location is used only to fetch weather data from a public API (Open-Meteo) and is never stored on any server. SpritzCast provides spray estimates based on weather data and general fragrance science. It is not a substitute for testing fragrances on your own skin. Actual performance varies by skin chemistry, application technique, and specific fragrance formulation. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
