Pollenary tells you what is actually in the air — and which pollen is actually yours. WHY IT IS DIFFERENT Most pollen apps show one number. Pollenary shows the plants behind it, for every day of the forecast. Ragweed on Saturday. Grass on Sunday. Tree pollen all week. The severity comes from Google's Pollen API, on the Universal Pollen Index (0-5), at 1 km resolution. We checked it against real pollen-counting stations before we trusted it. FIND OUT WHICH POLLEN IS YOURS Log how you feel in two taps: congestion, sneezing, a runny nose, a headache. Pollenary compares your bad days with the pollen that was in the air, and shows which pollen actually affects you and which symptoms it drives. It stays quiet until it has enough days to be sure. Saving to Apple Health is optional. ONE ALERT, AT 9 AM YOUR TIME Choose the allergens you react to and how bad a day has to be. One alert each morning covers every place you save; expand it to see each place across the next five days. It arrives at 9 AM wherever you are, and you can make it high priority so it skips your notification summary. WORKS WHERE YOU ARE The US, the UK, Europe and Israel.
