Clear or cloudy, today's weather shows up as it really is. - Capture it. Name it. Meet the real sky outside, then give it a color, a name, and one line. Your photo is never handed to an AI - the name comes from extracted color, time, and weather instead. Works offline. - A growing collection Every named sky joins your collection, one frame at a time. - The view from space See how the sky you just looked up at appears from orbit, alongside true-color Himawari satellite imagery (Japan Meteorological Agency / NOAA-NESDIS / CIRA, Colorado State University). - Widgets & StandBy (Amana Pro) See today's sky without opening the app - on your Home Screen, Lock Screen, or in StandBy. ¥300/month, or ¥1,500/year with a 7-day free trial. - Privacy Amana collects no information that identifies you personally.
