11.1 Mac

Location Compare and tide alerts

Two cities side by side in one window, and a tide chart that finally tells you when the water is coming.

Some updates are a long list of small things. This one is two features people had been asking for, and then a long list of small things.

NEW — Location CompareMac

Two cities, one window. Pin any two of your saved places side by side and flip between current, hourly and daily without losing either of them. Tap a city header to swap that side for anywhere else on your list.

It sounds like a small thing until you are the person who checks home and the place they are flying to every single morning.

NEW — Tide AlertsMac

The tide chart now stretches across future days with a redesigned details layout — and more usefully, it can tap you on the shoulder. Set a threshold and Forecast Bar tells you when a high or low tide is approaching it.

Predictions come from NOAA and are computed on your device, so the chart is there whether or not you have a signal.

Tide predictions run on-device from NOAA data — no network round trip.
