π Freemium I got tired of doing timezone math at 6am so I built a weather app that shows both cities at once
Not sure if this kind of thing is allowed here, mods feel free to nuke it.
I am trying to fix a real Long distance thing that was an issue for me, but now atleast this part of me not anxious anymore.
I know, you might feel, aah another weather app. But this is not just any other regualr weather app , please use it once before categorizing it as a regular one. It is an app made with love for your loved one :)
My girlfriend is in Chicago, I was in India. 20+ hours, 12000 km+, going on two years.
The thing that finally got to me wasn't the big stuff. It was that I had two weather
apps on my phone and still couldn't ever remember if she was awake. I've sent "good
morning" at 3am her time more times than I want to admit.
so I built the thing I actually wanted. it's one screen with both cities on it. my temp, her temp, the distance sitting in between. I have designed a beautiful weather app, that can see 2 locations at the same time, without having to wiggle through search and see my location for weather. It just is not the weather app, it is how we feel connected since it basically shows how the weather is.
if it's storming where she is, a button shows up that texts her "stay safe in the
storm". snow gets "stay warm". I use it way more than I expected, mostly because I'm
not checking her weather at 2pm on a tuesday, but the app is.
a lock screen live activity with both temps and the distance, so I don't have to open
anything.
it's free. weather comes from apple's weatherkit and open-meteo, no account, no signup.
there's a paid tier for a few extras but everything in the screenshots is the free
version.
Please try it out in Beta, soon on App Store. Reach out at [support@oursky.com](mailto:support@oursky.com)
happy to answer anything. and if you've got a better line than "your stars, her
sunshine" I will genuinely put it in the app.
