Skyla helps answer simple questions like: • Is now a good time to walk? • When will rain start? • Will the commute be messy? • Is pollen or air quality something to watch? • When is the best outdoor window today? • What does the weather feel like later?

Whimsy Weather draws the weather instead of tabulating it. The top half of the screen is a hand-drawn landscape under the real sky: the Sun and the Moon where they are, the Moon in its true phase, and the forecast's rain, snow, cloud and wind. The bottom half is the numbers. A SKY THAT IS ACTUALLY THE SKY Sunrise, sunset, twilight and the midnight sun are computed, not faked. At 64°N in June the sky never goes fully dark, because it doesn't. A HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN PLACES, ALL OF THEM ALIVE Hills, farm, beach, harbour, desert, lake, the tropics — each with something the wind moves. Taipei 101 shows the cloud base by the floor that disappears into it; the Golden Gate's span is a ruler for visibility. TWENTY-ONE FAMOUS MOUNTAINS Each reads one thing: Alishan's sea of clouds is the night's inversion, the banner off the Matterhorn is the summit wind, and the Dolomites turn pink in a low Sun. FIFTY-SIX PLACES IN MINIATURE Cities as tabletop models — Old Taipei, Kyoto, London, Prague — under drifting clouds and the real Sun and Moon. From up here you see what the rain did: puddles, snow on roofs, rivers rising. And anywhere else, a miniature of here: the real streets, parks and trees within 300 m from OpenStreetMap, with houses in the local style. SIXTEEN FAMOUS BEACHES Each reads the sea the forecast does not show: Nazaré's wave is the swell times its period, Mont-Saint-Michel is an island only on a spring tide, and Kabira Bay goes from emerald to milk after rain. THE VIEW FROM A WINDOW A plane, high-speed rail, a car, a train and a bus. Rain on the glass is a speedometer: straight down at a red light, flat at 300 km/h. A WORLD CLOCK WITH LANDMARKS Every saved city on one 24-hour dial, ringed by landmarks that turn with the time, each under its own city's weather. WARNINGS, AND HONESTY ABOUT WHERE THEY CAME FROM Official warnings name the issuer — the US National Weather Service, or MeteoAlarm for Europe. Elsewhere the app's advisories are derived from the forecast, and say so. It is not a warning service: for decisions that matter, follow your national weather service. SEVEN WIDGETS ON THE HOME SCREEN Tonight's sky with the true Moon, today's conditions, the five-day outlook, what to wear — and the scene itself. YOURS, IN YOUR UNITS Each unit on its own or by region, and a scene for each place. English, Français, 繁體中文, 简体中文 and 日本語. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account, no analytics, no advertising. Only what is needed leaves your phone: where you want the weather for, and, if you ask for a miniature of a place, the square round it, to OpenStreetMap. FREE, SOURCES AND PRO Free keeps one saved place plus wherever you are, with the full panel, the hourly and five-day forecasts and the warnings, from MET Norway. Pro adds Apple Weather (with next-hour rain where Apple has radar), unlimited places, the seven widgets, the other hundred and fourteen places, a miniature of anywhere, the world clock and the timeline. Subscribe, or buy it once and keep it. Sources, bought once, is everything in Pro except Apple Weather: MET Norway, or your own free key for OpenWeatherMap, Pirate Weather and others — or several at once.
