👋 Welcome to Forecast Bar

What Forecast Bar is, where it runs, and how this guide is organized.

Forecast Bar is a weather app for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple TV, built around fast, hyper-local forecasts: current conditions, minute-by-minute rain, hourly and daily forecasts, animated radar, severe weather alerts, and a menu bar app for the Mac.

This guide documents every feature and every setting in the app. Use the search box (press / anywhere) to jump straight to a feature, or browse by platform in the sidebar.
