Der Bauernkalender bringt das Wetterwissen von Generationen auf Ihr iPhone – im nostalgischen Holzschnitt-Gewand auf altem Pergament. Statt komplizierter Meteo-Apps zeigt Ihnen der Bauernkalender jeden Tag eine alte Bauernregel: einfache, oft in Reimform gefasste Volkssprüche über Wetter und Landwirtschaft, deren Beobachtungen über Generationen weitergegeben wurden – manche mit erstaunlicher Treffergenauigkeit. WAS SIE ERWARTET • Rund 600 Bauernregeln für einzelne Tage und Monate. Für jeden Tag erscheint die passende Tages- oder Monatsregel. • Namenstage: zu jedem Datum die aktuellen Namenstage. • Wettervergleich: Höchst- und Tiefsttemperatur sowie Niederschlag als effektive Werte für vergangene Tage oder als Vorhersage für heute und die kommenden Tage – jeweils neben dem langjährigen Mittel für Ihren gewählten Ort. • Widget für Home- und Sperrbildschirm: die Regel des Tages immer im Blick. • Blättern per Wisch: einen Tag oder Monat vor und zurück, oder mit einem Tippen zurück zum heutigen Tag. • Tagesregel teilen – als Text oder als hübsches Bild. LIEBEVOLL GESTALTET Handgesetzte Holzschnitt-Symbole, eine klassische Schreibschrift und warmer Pergament-Hintergrund machen aus jedem Tag ein kleines Stück Almanach-Nostalgie. PRIVAT UND SCHLANK Der Bauernkalender funktioniert ohne Anmeldung. Die Regeln und Namenstage sind vollständig offline verfügbar; für Wettervergleich und Vorhersage werden lediglich anonyme Wetterdaten Ihres gewählten Orts geladen. Viel Freude mit den Bauernregeln!
