Weather without the noise. At home and wherever you are headed. HonestSky is a free weather app with no ads, tracking, subscriptions, or paywalls. Every feature is available to everyone. PLAN FOR YOUR TRIP Add a temporary trip with your destination, dates, activities, and travel mode. Get a forecast preview, packing suggestions, and guidance for watching or playing sports, outdoor events, sightseeing, hiking, golf, and more. See weather at your departure place and destination for both the outbound and return trip. Opt in to server monitoring for meaningful changes to your trip forecast. View what changed and pause trip notifications until tomorrow. Monitoring ends after your return date. Trips stay separate from your saved cities.

YOUR PRIVACY No accounts, advertising SDKs, or analytics SDKs. Forecast requests use rounded coordinates. Optional weather alerts store the push token and weather context needed to deliver them. Trip monitoring stores the trip details you choose to share. Delete server-side records from Settings. Newsletter signup is optional. Forecast coverage depends on the location and date. Trip guidance uses weather at your trip endpoints; it does not include live flight status, train schedules, or conditions along a full driving route. Weather sources include Open-Meteo, CAMS, NOAA/National Weather Service, MeteoAlarm, and the Iowa Environmental Mesonet. Source and license details are available in Settings.
