Forecast Bar is available as part of Setapp, the Mac app subscription service. The Setapp build is the same app with one big difference: everything is unlocked.
Everything included
Your Setapp membership unlocks Forecast Bar at the Pro level (the top tier — called Gold on other platforms). Every feature described in this guide's Mac section — 10-minute updates, notifications, Smart Weather Stories, location compare, all of it — works with no additional purchase. See Plans & Subscriptions for what Pro includes.
Because there's nothing to buy:
- The Subscription tab doesn't appear in Settings.
- You'll never see an upgrade or paywall screen.
Small differences from the App Store build
A few things work slightly differently on Setapp:
- No TestFlight row in Settings → About & More — beta builds are distributed through the App Store version.
- No Sign In With Apple row in About & More.
- After an update, Forecast Bar shows a release notes window at launch so you can see what's new.
Everything else — the menu bar, the weather panel, Dock Mode, and all settings — matches the App Store build exactly.
