Pascal turns your iPhone's built-in barometer into a precision pressure instrument. It shows what the air is actually doing, measured on your phone, with no internet required. READ THE TREND See whether pressure is steady, rising or falling, and how fast, using the same 3-hour bands meteorologists use. Falling pressure usually comes before unsettled weather, rising pressure before settled weather. Pascal tells you what it measures, not guesses. ALERTS ON YOUR TERMS • Storm alerts when pressure drops at storm rates • Pressure swing alerts when pressure rises or falls 4, 6 or 8 hPa within 12 hours, with a 60-day swing log • Daily limits and sensitivity you control HISTORY AND ALTITUDE • Pressure and altitude charts over 12 hours, 48 hours or 7 days • Total climb and descent for walks, hikes and drives • Cabin altitude tracking on flights EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK • Home Screen widgets, Lock Screen and Dynamic Island Live Activities • Apple Watch app and complications • Built for iPhone Duo: a full instrument panel unfolded, and the complete app on the front screen ACCURATE BY DESIGN Pascal reduces pressure to sea level using your altitude, and checks every GPS altitude against the barometer itself, so changing height or a bad GPS fix never throws your readings off. WORKS OFFLINE, PRIVATE BY DESIGN No internet, no account, no cloud. Everything is measured and stored on your phone. Location is used only to work out your altitude and is never stored or shared. Pascal reports measured pressure changes. It is not a weather forecast or medical advice.

Feature Highlights Dual‑display Barometer & Altimeter All‑in‑One ‑ Shows real‑time barometric pressure and altitude simultaneously, no need to switch between multiple apps. ‑ Dual pressure readout: raw sensor value from Apple Watch and ISA standard pressure calculated by altitude. Ripple background animation visualizes pressure level intuitively. ‑ Displays weather symbol alerts when rapid short‑term barometric changes suggest possible weather shifts (for reference only). ‑ Merges Watch‑built‑in altitude and GPS altitude. Fine pressure variations dynamically calibrate altitude for higher precision. ‑ Records pressure & altitude changes, visualized with numbers and scales. Long‑tap the change value to reset. ‑ Auto‑calibration triggers when deviation against system altitude becomes large, balancing overall accuracy and sensitivity to subtle variations. ‑ Tap pressure value to toggle units: hPa, inHg, mmHg. Altitude supports meters / feet. Rich Watch Face Complications ‑ Circular complications for pressure and altitude for quick glance. ‑ Stack‑able rectangular complication tracks 24‑hour pressure‑altitude trends with current readings. Keep it on watch face to enable continuous logging.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Pascal Barometer at Free against Barometer on‑Wrist's $0.99.
