OpenAir helps you decide when to open or close your windows using outdoor weather and your comfort settings. It checks outdoor temperature, dew point, rain, and wind, then gives you a clear recommendation. Explore up to 10 days of hourly temperature and dew point charts, with your comfort limits and window guidance shown alongside them. Use OpenAir to: * See a simple open or close recommendation * Find upcoming periods when outdoor conditions suit your preferences * Check temperature and dew point trends before opening your windows * Avoid rain, strong wind, and humid outdoor air * Get alerts when the recommendation changes * Check your status with iPhone widgets and Apple Watch Set your preferred outdoor temperature range, maximum dew point, and wind limits to tailor the guidance. OpenAir uses outdoor conditions only. It does not measure indoor temperature, indoor humidity, or air quality. Alerts and background updates are best-effort and may be delayed by iOS.

The Dew Point turns the current temperature and dew point into one glanceable word that tells you how it actually feels outside — Crisp, Pleasant, Muggy, Steamy. Temperature alone doesn't tell the whole story, and relative humidity is misleading: 90% humidity on a cool morning feels fine, while 50% on a hot afternoon can be brutal. The dew point is an absolute measure of the moisture in the air, and it maps directly to how the air feels on your skin. The Dew Point reads it for you and answers in a single word. FEATURES • One-word comfort summary, designed for your watch face • Complications for rectangular, circular, corner, and inline slots: the word, the dew point, and the EPA Air Quality Index • When it's raining or snowing, the word gives way to what's actually falling: Heavy Rain, Snow Showers, Scattered Thunderstorms • Current temperature, dew point, and AQI at a glance in the app • No accounts, no ads, no tracking The Dew Point runs entirely on Apple Watch — no iPhone app needed. Weather data is provided by Apple Weather. Air quality data comes from EPA AirNow (United States only). Location access is used only to fetch conditions where you are; it never leaves your device except to request weather for your coordinates.
