Rain? answers one simple question: how likely is it to rain in the next 30 minutes? Open the app and instantly see your rain probability as a single, bold number. The screen fills with animated water proportional to the chance of rain — the higher the likelihood, the higher the water rises. Inspired by the Apple Watch depth gauge, it turns weather data into something you can feel at a glance. Beneath the headline number, a minute-by-minute chart breaks down the next half hour so you can see exactly when rain is expected to arrive, peak, or clear. A trend indicator shows whether conditions are building, easing, or holding steady. No clutter. No ten-day forecasts. No hourly temperature graphs. Just the one thing you actually need to know before you step outside. How it works: Rain? uses Apple WeatherKit to pull minute-by-minute precipitation data for your exact location. Your location is sent directly to Apple's weather service and is never stored, tracked, or shared. The forecast updates with a single tap. Features: Real-time rain probability for the next 30 minutes Animated water-fill display that rises with rain likelihood Minute-by-minute precipitation chart Trend indicator showing increasing, decreasing, or steady conditions Hyperlocal forecasts powered by Apple WeatherKit No ads, no accounts, no tracking Designed for one-handed, one-second use Rain? requires location access to provide forecasts.

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.
