Some days are sunny. Some are stormy. Inner Forecast is a calm, private place to notice the weather you are carrying. Checking in takes a moment. Choose the weather that fits how you feel, set how strongly it feels, and add a few words if you want to. Recent check-ins can sit gently beside one another, helping you notice when something has changed without turning your feelings into scores, streaks or targets. Over time, History forms a simple picture of your inner weather, ready whenever you want to look back. What’s inside: • Six weather moods, from Stormy to Sunny, with space for how strongly each one feels. • History for revisiting check-ins and seeing how your weather moved through a day or week. • A private journal for moments that need more words. • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets for your forecast and a daily lift. • A First Aid Kit with breathing, grounding and support links for heavier moments. • A flexible layout that you can arrange around the way you think. • Custom colours, personal affirmations and three complete App Styles: Default, Ink and Nocturne. • A considered experience across iPhone and iPad. Private by default: Your entries are stored privately on your device. There are no accounts, ads, advertising trackers or data selling. Apple Health support and backup exports are entirely optional and only happen when you choose them. One purchase. No subscription.
