AQI Me shows the current Air Quality Index (AQI) for the places you care about — home, family across the country, your next trip — all on one clean screen. Add up to 20 locations by name (“Denver, CO”, “London, UK”) or GPS coordinates, and see each one’s live reading color-coded on the US EPA scale, from Good (green) to Hazardous (maroon). A single glance tells you whether the air is clear or whether somewhere needs your attention. WHAT YOU GET • Current AQI for up to 20 locations, refreshed hourly • An at-a-glance scale bar that plots every location on the AQI spectrum, so you can see how each place compares — and how close any is to the next level • Tap a dot to jump straight to that location’s card • Each card shows the AQI value and category, the dominant pollutant (PM2.5, O₃, and more), the temperature, and the local time of the reading • Grid or list view, with drag-and-drop reordering • A built-in guide to the AQI scale and what each pollutant means • Light and dark themes • Universal — designed for both iPhone and iPad PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account. No sign-up. Just open it and go. • No ads. No trackers. No analytics. • Your list of locations is stored only on your device — never uploaded to us. • Air-quality data comes from the free, open Open-Meteo service. AQI Me is a calm instrument for a simple question: how’s the air, right now, in the places that matter to me? Also available on the web at aqi-me.anystupididea.com.
