"Che Frècc" isn’t your typical weather app. It’s for people who just want to know if they need an umbrella — without reading a meteorology thesis. **Intuitive hourly charts** Check temperature, rain probability, and weather conditions, hour by hour. All at a glance. **Weekly forecasts with style and smart interactions** Tap, swipe, feel. The app responds with subtle feedback. It automatically supports light and dark mode to match your style (and give your tired eyes a break).

Weather Game IRL

Your real weather, rendered as a living world. Most weather apps show you a number. Weather Game IRL shows you the sky. Your local forecast plays out as a full-screen cinematic scene that moves in real time — grass bending in the wind, rain streaking down the frame, embers rising from a fire, clouds drifting across a valley at dusk. And it is always your weather. Clear morning, overcast noon, rain at sunset — what plays on your screen matches what is actually happening outside your window, right now. HOW IT WORKS Every combination of weather and time of day has its own hand-crafted animated scene. Morning, midday and evening. Clear, cloudy and rainy. The app reads your real conditions along with sunrise and sunset for your location, picks the scene that matches, and switches on its own as the day moves and the weather turns. You never configure anything. There is nothing to set up, no habits to track, no streak to keep alive. Open it, see your sky, close it. REAL FORECAST DATA • Current conditions and feels-like temperature • Daily high and low • 24-hour hourly timeline • 7-day outlook • Accurate local data powered by Apple Weather CHOOSE YOUR WORLD Switch between complete visual worlds. Each one has its own scenes, colour palette and typography — a different place to watch your weather from. New worlds are added over time and are always included in your subscription, never sold separately. HOME SCREEN WIDGET Put your current conditions on your home screen in small or medium size, styled to match the world you picked. It refreshes through the day and stays out of your way. SHARE YOUR SKY Export the moment as a vertical card and send it to anyone. Your temperature, your conditions, your scene. BUILT FOR iPHONE Native SwiftUI. Fast to open and quiet in the background. Scenes pause the moment you leave the app and respect Low Power Mode, so a beautiful screen does not cost you your battery. Your last forecast stays available offline. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. No sign-up. No tracking, no ads, nothing sold to anyone. Your location is used for exactly one thing: fetching your forecast.
