Libre Weather
Read full descriptionHide full description
A simple, fast, and privacy-focused weather app built on official National Weather Service (NWS) data, CONAGUA / Servicio Meteorológico Nacional (SMN), and Open-Meteo as a fallback provider. No ads, no tracking, and no subscriptions. This app was created with a single goal of providing accurate weather information without monetizing your attention or your data. --- FEATURES • GPS-based weather lookup • Address search with saved locations • Official National Weather Service forecast data • CONAGUA / Servicio Meteorológico Nacional (SMN) and Open-Meteo as a fallback provider for Mexico weather • Detailed forecasts with real-world clarity • Dynamic UI that adapts to current conditions • Clean, modern design built with Material 3 • Home screen widget for quick access --- PRIVACY FIRST This app does not collect, store, or share your personal data. • No analytics • No tracking • No advertising SDKs • No data harvesting Your location is only used to request weather data from the National Weather Service and is never sent anywhere else. --- WHY THIS APP EXISTS Weather is public information. Many platforms are increasingly moving toward ads, subscriptions, and data collection. This project is a small step in the opposite direction by keeping weather simple, accessible, and free for everyone. I got tired of clicking for a detailed forecast only to be presented with a completely unusable webpage inundated with ads and pop-ups, so I made my own weather app and I'd like to share it with you. --- OPEN SOURCE This app is fully open-source. You can review the code, verify its behavior, or contribute/make it your own: https://github.com/fa1sepr0phet/Just-NWS-Weather-iOS --- TESTING & FEEDBACK This app is actively being improved. If you encounter bugs or have suggestions, your feedback is welcome. --- Just the weather.
Parallel

Parallel is a weather app for people who live between two scales. Most apps make you choose: Celsius or Fahrenheit, one or the other. Parallel shows both, every time — current conditions, the hourly timeline, and the full 10-day forecast, all in °C and °F at once. No toggling. No mental math. No "wait, is that hot?" WEATHER, BOTH WAYS Every temperature appears in both scales, side by side. The current reading, the highs and lows, feels-like, dew point — all dual, all the time. LEAD WITH YOUR UNIT Pick which scale comes first with a single setting. Think in Fahrenheit but check on family abroad? Grew up Celsius but live in the States? Put your number up front and keep the other one right beside it. WHO IT'S FOR – Households where people grew up on different scales – Immigrants and expats keeping one foot in each system – Travelers who don't want to recalibrate every trip – Anyone who's ever had to Google "20C in F" EVERYTHING YOU EXPECT – Current conditions and next-hour precipitation – Hour-by-hour timeline – Full 10-day forecast – Humidity, dew point, highs and lows – Powered by Apple Weather Parallel keeps both scales in view so you never have to translate the weather again.

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Parallel at 17.0 against Libre Weather's 26.5. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
