A phone-first weather app built to answer “what do I actually need to know?” at a glance — one screen, no clutter, no account, no ads.

• 📱One screen, portrait-first. The whole picture fits without scrolling.
• 🗣️Plain-language outlook. “Rain likely around 3 PM,” from the hourly data. When it’s dry, it counts days until rain returns — the next day with a ≥50% chance or ≥1 mm total. A “+” (e.g. “6+ days”) means that day has ≥1 mm but under 50% chance, so it likely stays dry longer. It names the type — rain, snow or both — and says when it changes over, e.g. “Rain turning to snow, easing by 9 AM”.
• ↔️Swipe through time. Hourly (48 h back, 72 h ahead) and daily (7 days back, 16 ahead) strips — swipe on a phone, or click-and-drag on a desktop. Once Now or Today is off-screen, a yellow NOW button above the scroll bar brings you back. Each day’s low and the icon beside it, in the darker band, are the night that follows it, evening to the next morning.
• 📈Tap an hour or a day. Opens a Conditions chart — that day’s hourly temperature and feels-like as two lines, with a day picker to swipe across the full 16-day forecast (and two days back). A fixed centre cursor reads the exact temperature, feels-like, and precipitation (rain in mm, snow in cm, and the chance) for the hour under it, with a yellow ← NOW button to jump back; a precip band sits below.
• 📍Find any place. Search a city or street address, or open the map and tap anywhere to forecast that exact spot. The share icon on the card sends a link that opens this exact forecast; the one in a panel (Moon, Daylight, Wind, Air Quality, Conditions, or Both) opens that panel at the moment you’re looking at. It reopens the last place you viewed — or, under “When the app opens” at the top of search, always on your current location or a saved place you pick — and once you’ve saved a few places, swipe the summary card sideways to slide the whole forecast to the next place (it’s already loaded, so it follows your finger); its name sits at the top of the card, with dots under it showing which of your places you’re on. To change the order, press a saved place in the search panel and drag it up or down. Once you’ve used “my current location”, it joins the list too — first, with a ring-shaped dot — whenever you’re more than 25 km from every saved place.
• 👆Tap for more. A small + in the margin marks the summary lines you can open — Wind, Air Quality, Moon, and Daylight.
• 💧Precipitation you can see. Flat bars on one straight scale — twice the amount, twice the height — so bars compare at a glance, and bars with the same label are the same height. The scale stays fixed so heights mean the same every day; only when an extreme event goes past its top does that strip stretch to fit it. Rain is blue, labelled in mm, and fainter when it’s less likely; snow is always white, labelled in centimetres of fresh snow (about 7 cm per 10 mm of water). A day with both stacks them, rain under snow, with both amounts. Each amount sits on a small dark tag, so it reads the same over snow, rain or the background; a label too big for a short bar sits just above it. Snow, freezing rain and rain-and-snow get their own icons, and an icon’s strength (light or heavy) follows the amount. On the daily strip each icon reads its own hours — the day’s icon its daylight hours, the night’s 6 PM to 9 AM — so snow before dawn shows on the night before, while the bars total each calendar day.
• 🌬️Wind & gusts. The summary shows the current wind and gust with an arrow pointing the way it blows. Tap the “Wind” line for an hourly graph from two days back to 16 days ahead — slide it under the fixed centre line, like the Conditions chart, with Light→Severe bands, direction arrows, a day picker, a readout of wind, direction and gust for the hour under the line, and a yellow ← NOW button to jump back.
• 🔀Temp, Wind or Both. The switch at the top of the Conditions and Wind panels moves between them at the same hour, and the Wind or Temp line in each readout jumps across too. Both shows temperature and wind as two equal charts, one above the other, sized to fit your screen, each with its own title, scale and key, read by the same centre line. The panel opens the way you last used it.
• 🛰️Your location. Used for the weather where you are and to aim Find the Moon from where you’re standing (it works only with location on). It’s sent only to look up that forecast and the place’s name; the app keeps it only on your phone. The browser’s prompt names the website, shozbot.com. To stop it asking each time: in Safari on iPhone, tap the page menu (aA) beside the address → Website Settings → Location → Allow; in Chrome on Android, tap the icon to the left of the address → Permissions → Location → Allow.
• 👉Slide from anywhere. On the Moon, Daylight, Wind and Conditions panels, drag sideways anywhere on the panel to move through time — a flick keeps it going. Yellow marks now on each one.
• 🫁Air quality. A colour-coded air-quality index — Canada’s AQHI (1–10) for Canadian locations, the US AQI everywhere else. Tap the “Air Quality” line on the summary for the details — a scale showing where your reading sits among all the categories, what the category means, and a breakdown of pollutants like PM2.5 and ozone.
• 🌙The Moon. Live phase on the summary — tap it for the Moon panel: the real lunar surface (NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter map) lit and tilted as it appears tonight, which you can move hour by hour across a month (15 days either side of today) with the scroll bar under it. The scroll bar is a band whose thickness is the Moon’s illumination, with a yellow bar marking now, a dot at each new and full moon to aim for, and a yellow ← NOW button to jump back. Above the Moon: its phase, the date, and where to look — compass bearing, then above (or below) the horizon and by how much. At the top, a perigee-to-apogee distance scale (surface to surface) moves as you scroll. Below: moonrise and moonset with the compass point they happen at, days to the next full and new moon, and a month calendar of phases. All computed on-device for this place.
• 🧭Find the Moon. On a phone, the Moon panel offers “Find the Moon” at the top. Aim with the camera — hold the phone up as if taking a photo and point the back camera at the sky — or switch to Top edge and aim the top of the phone, held flat, like a pointer; it remembers your choice. Two cards say how far to turn and tilt, a viewfinder shows the Moon against the horizon, and the ring lights up when you’re on it — above or below the horizon. It aims from your phone’s own location, whatever place the forecast shows, and the compass is corrected from magnetic to true north for where you’re standing. It usually knows where you are at once (the phone’s last fix is close enough for the Moon); if it can’t get a location, it says why and offers Try again.
• ☀️Daylight through the year. Tap the “Daylight” line for the daylight band widening toward summer and pinching toward winter — a full year on screen, slidable a year back or ahead, with a yellow ← NOW button to jump back. Dots mark the solstices, rings the equinoxes, dotted lines the clock changes, and a brighter band inside shows the vitamin D hours (Sun above 45°) — a one-line key sits under the chart, and “More” opens the details. The readout gives sunrise and sunset with their compass bearings, day length, the vitamin D window, and the change from the day before; a card beneath shows where the Sun is overhead and how high it climbs at noon here. Sun times are computed on-device, so it works offline for any place.
• 🗺️Live radar map. Animated precipitation you can slide back through time. Rain runs green to red and snow pale blue to violet, using RainViewer’s snow estimate; place names sit above the radar.
• 🔓Free & private. Powered by Open-Meteo — no keys, no tracking, no sign-in.
• 📲Add to your home screen. Runs full-screen like an app, works offline from the last forecast, and quietly updates itself to the latest version.
• How the forecast works
• 🌡️Now vs. the hourly forecast. The big temperature on the card is Open-Meteo’s current estimate, refreshed every 15 minutes — a model’s best guess for right now, not a single weather station’s thermometer. The Now column in Hourly is the forecast for the top of the hour, so on a warming morning or a cooling evening the two can differ by a degree or so.
• 🕰️History. Recent past days are the model’s best estimate; days older than ~5 days switch to observation-based reanalysis — what actually happened. (Chance-of-rain stays model-based.)
• 📐An area, not a pinpoint. Each forecast covers a small area — typically 1–3 km across near towns, larger in remote spots — not one exact address. The yellow circle on the Map marks it.
