Before heading out — should you bring an umbrella today? UmbrellaOrShine boils every rainy-day decision down to two words: bring, or skip. No need to read percent-chance forecasts, radar maps, or weather icons. Open the app, get the answer. Main features 1. One word for today's plan Live weather from your current location or a city you pick — one big word tells you whether to grab an umbrella. 2. Home- and lock-screen widgets Small, medium, and large home-screen widgets; lock-screen support too. A glance, no need to open the app. 3. Control Center widget Pull up Control Center to get the answer in the shortest possible path. 4. Auto location, manual city switch Heading somewhere else for the commute? Switch cities in a second. 5. Offline cache On flaky networks, the last fetched result is still shown, with the offline timestamp clearly marked. 6. Quietly minimal Serif typography, paper-toned palette, zero clutter. Nothing to distract you. Why UmbrellaOrShine There's no shortage of weather apps. They tell you everything except the one thing you actually want to know: do I need an umbrella today? UmbrellaOrShine isn't trying to replace your weather app — it's built to answer that one high-frequency, easy-to-forget question. Privacy Location is used only inside the app to look up local weather. Nothing is uploaded, tracked, or shared. No account, no sign-in.
