WeatherDrobe

WeatherDrobe turns the forecast into something you can actually use: an outfit. Instead of reading numbers and guessing, you see a complete look for today's weather — shown head-to-toe on a figure you choose. Open the app and it reads your local conditions, then dresses a male or female figure in clothing suited to the day ahead. Hot, mild, rainy, or freezing — the look changes with the weather, so you know what to wear before you step outside. WHAT YOU GET • Today's outfit, visualized — a full-body look picked for the day ahead, not just a clothing list. • Pick your figure — a male or female figure models the day's outfit. • Dressed for you — tell the app whether you usually feel cold or warm and every look moves one step to match. • Smart extras — an umbrella when rain is coming, a layer when the temperature swings, a windbreaker on windy days. • Real local weather — automatic location or search any city by name. • 7-day outfit forecast — see what to wear over the coming week and plan ahead. • Step counting — today's steps at the top of the app, your week hour by hour, your records, and trophies to earn. Optional, and your counts never leave your iPhone. • Photo journal — save photos of what you actually wore and build your own style log. • Daily reminders — an optional nudge so you're never caught underdressed. • Saved places — keep home, work and wherever you're travelling, and switch between them in a tap. • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets — today's look, the full outfit as a checklist, the next twelve hours, or the weather, your outfit and your steps together, without opening the app. They refresh on their own through the day. • Beautiful, weather-aware design — the whole app shifts with the sky, from clear blue to stormy grey. PRIVATE BY DESIGN WeatherDrobe runs entirely on your device. There are no accounts and no sign-ups. We run no servers of our own, your photos and step counts never leave your phone, and your location is sent only to the weather service that returns your forecast. Delete the app and everything it stored is gone. FREE TO USE Everything above is free, in the Casual style. No account, no sign-up. WEATHERDROBE PREMIUM (OPTIONAL) • All styles — dress your figure in Streetwear, Business Casual, Athleisure, Old Money and Minimalist, and make any of them your default, on the app and your widgets. • 14-day outfit forecast — plan two weeks ahead instead of one. Premium is an auto-renewable subscription, billed monthly or yearly, with a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase, or at the end of the free trial. The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel at any time in Settings → Apple Account → Subscriptions. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription. Premium needs no account either.

WeatherDrobe just shows you what to wear.

About

CheckWeather.io

CheckWeather puts the public weather models for your location side by side and shows you two things no other weather app does: how much they agree, hour by hour, and which one has actually been right where you live. WHAT YOU SEE - A forecast confidence chip: High, Medium or Low, with how far apart the models are right now. - The number on screen comes from the model that has been most accurate in your city over the last 30 days, never a blind average. - Rain, next 48 hours, model by model: each model's own rain, hour by hour, on one scale, with midnight marked. - Who says what: every model's high, low and rain for each of the next eight days, with a three-hour table underneath. - How right were they here: yesterday's forecasts held against what happened, and how far off to expect a forecast at one, three and seven days' notice. - Rain radar with a scrubber, air quality and pollen, sea state on the coast, sunrise, sunset and golden hour, and severe weather warnings from the National Weather Service in the US. - An alert when the models stop agreeing about tomorrow, plus a morning briefing and rain alerts, scheduled on your phone from the forecast it already has. THE MODELS United States: NWS National Blend, NOAA GFS, ECMWF. United Kingdom: Met Office, ECMWF, GFS. Canada: Environment Canada GEM, ECMWF, GFS. Australia and New Zealand: ECMWF, GFS, DWD ICON. Anywhere else: the three global models every national forecaster starts from. ACCURACY YOU CAN CHECK Every model's forecast is scored daily against reanalysis of what actually happened, across 300 cities in each country, on checkweather.io. The apps that keep their models private cannot be checked like this, so we do not pretend to grade them. NO ADS, NO ACCOUNT, NO TRACKING Forecasts from Open-Meteo. Radar from RainViewer.
