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.
