Kaisei Weather
Read full descriptionHide full description
Kaisei (快晴) means "clear cloudless sky." A weather app with the look of a terminal: flat panels, square corners, monospaced type, and pixel art where other apps put a spinner. Forecasts come from Apple Weather. There is no account, no advertising, and no tracking of any kind. YOUR PLACES, ONE PAGE EACH Swipe sideways between where you are and up to five saved cities. Every page keeps its own forecast, its own scroll position and its own clock, set to that city's time zone. Add a city with autocomplete search, then reorder or remove it whenever you like. TODAY, IN DETAIL - Current conditions with feels-like, high and low, wind, humidity and UV index - Rain in the next hour, one bar per minute, with the minute it starts and stops - A plain line on the next twelve hours, so you know about the umbrella - A 24-hour strip of temperature and the chance of rain - Pressure and its trend, visibility, dew point, and cloud cover split into low, middle and high layers TEN DAYS, AND THE LONG VIEW Ten days of highs and lows on one shared scale. Tap any day for its own hours, its own night and its own details. Underneath, the climate averages for this month and the next three, labelled as averages and never dressed up as a forecast. DAYLIGHT AND THE NIGHT SKY Sunrise, sunset, the length of the day and how much light is left in it, plus dawn, dusk and golden hour. After dark: the moon between its rise and its set, the phase, the next full and new moon, how long the sky stays fully dark, and whether cloud will hide the stars. SEVERE WEATHER ALERTS, IF YOU WANT THEM Switch them on and Kaisei watches for severe and extreme warnings where you are, then shows you the issuing agency's own words, unchanged, with the agency named. Every notification is composed on your iPhone. There is no push server and no device token, so nobody, us included, can send you anything through this app. SEVEN HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Kaisei Weather, Hourly, Hourly Rain, Umbrella, Daylight, Night sky and Moon phase, across small, medium and large sizes, with Daylight and Moon phase on the Lock Screen too. Each widget follows your device or sits on a saved city, and each one wears the theme you chose. TWENTY THEMES Twelve of them are free. Dark ones and light ones, from Tokyo Neon to Washi Paper, each previewed on your own forecast before you commit to it. MADE TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY - Temperature, wind, pressure and distance units, each set on its own - Seven languages: English, Polish, Dutch, German, Spanish, Swedish and Italian - VoiceOver labels throughout, Dynamic Type everywhere, and every theme checked for contrast - Nothing is fetched while what is on screen is less than thirty minutes old PRIVACY, IN PLAIN TERMS No sign-up, no email address, no password. No analytics, no advertising identifier, and not one third-party framework: everything in the app is Apple's own. Before a request leaves your iPhone your coordinates are rounded to about a kilometre, and the precise position is never stored. Settings, saved cities and cached forecasts live on your device and nowhere else. BUY A COFFEE Every forecast in the app is free and will stay that way. If you want to say thank you, there are three one-time purchases, Espresso, Americano and Latte, and each one unlocks a handful of extra themes. The Latte adds a builder for making your own. They are the only purchases in the app, they do not stack, and they unlock nothing but colours. Weather data provided by Apple Weather.
