Jacket is a weather app that adapts to how you actually feel – not to what the thermometer says. Two people standing in the same cold wind don't need the same advice. Jacket starts by asking a few quick questions about how you experience cold, heat, and rain. Then it keeps learning: once a flagged event has passed, give it a thumbs up or down, and Jacket retunes the thresholds behind what it flags. It tells you exactly what changed, in plain English – "Going forward, we'll be slightly less sensitive about rain." What you get: - Tuned to you: rain, cold, wind and heat get flagged at your personal thresholds, not generic ones. - An event timeline: see the rain, snow, wind and cold coming today and tomorrow at a glance, instead of decoding hourly forecast tables. - Plain-English summaries: one line at the top telling you what to wear or bring today – and what tomorrow needs. - One morning brief: a single notification each morning with what to wear today. No alert spam. - Widgets: your summary and the day's flagged events on your Home Screen, without opening the app. - Learning you can see: every time Jacket retunes itself, it tells you what it changed. - Learning that stays on your phone: the tuning runs entirely on your device. No account, no ads, no tracking. How it works: 1. Set your location, or let Jacket find it. 2. Answer a few quick questions about how you experience weather. 3. Check the forecast each morning to see what's ahead. 4. Rate events once they've passed. Jacket does the rest. Weather data comes from Open-Meteo. Your ratings never leave your device, and they're cleaned up automatically after 90 days.
