KiteCast vs Air Quality ◎

KiteCast is a wind forecast app built specifically for kitesurfers who ride thermic sea breezes — the reliable afternoon winds that generic weather apps consistently under-read. Most forecasts show you the gradient (synoptic) wind and miss the thermal that actually fills in on a sunny afternoon at spots like Akyaka / Gökova. KiteCast models the thermic diurnal cycle — how the breeze builds in the late morning, peaks mid-afternoon, and fades by evening — using sky clearness and solar heating, not just raw model wind. FEATURES Live wind — real-time wind speed, gusts, and direction straight from on-spot weather stations. Thermal forecast — an hour-by-hour prediction tuned for sea-breeze spots, blending live measurements into the forecast as the day develops. History — browse past wind so you can learn the patterns at your spot. Wind alerts — get a push notification when conditions are lining up for a session, so you stop refreshing all afternoon. Clean, glanceable design — a compass rose and clear knot readouts you can check in a second. Primary spot: Akyaka / Gökova, Turkey — one of the most consistent summer thermal spots in the world. More spots included. KiteCast is free, needs no account, and does not track your location. Check the wind. Grab your kite. Go ride.

What you are breathing, at a glance. An index with no explanation is useless. Air Quality shows your city's level in real time, the pollutant pushing it up, the weather behind it, and one clear call: go out now, or wait until this evening. No account, no sign-up, no email address to hand over. THE INDEX, IN REAL TIME Your city's level, updated continuously, with the pollutant responsible and its concentration: PM2.5 and PM10 particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide. When wildfire smoke drifts in, fine particles are what tell you first. YOUR COUNTRY'S OWN SCALE In the United States the app uses the AQI you already know, from 0 to 500. Travel, and it switches to the official scale of wherever you are: the European index, Canada's AQHI, the UK's DAQI, Korea's CAI, and the Japanese, Mexican, Australian and Brazilian scales. Nine scales in all, and you can force your own. THE WEATHER THAT EXPLAINS IT Wind disperses particles, heat manufactures ozone, rain washes the air. A discreet strip ties every move of the index to its cause, in one sentence. This is an air quality app, not a weather app: the weather is there to explain, never to take over the screen. MAP AND RANKING A pollution layer over the world map, monitoring stations where they exist, and a ranking of major cities so you can place your own. ALERTS THAT ACTUALLY WARN YOU A notification when the air degrades in one of your cities, and another when it is breathable again. You set the threshold, the app keeps watch. YOUR SENSITIVITY PROFILE Asthma, heart condition, young child, older adult, pregnancy, outdoor sport: tick what applies to you. The app then watches the pollutants that affect you first and warns you earlier, without ever altering the readings it shows. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN A widget shows your city's level without opening the app. YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU No account, no advertising profile built on your health. Your reading history is stored on your device. PREMIUM The free version gives you today's index, the map, the ranking, the widget and one tracked city.
