Shinkai Sky

Why must a weather app be either calm to look at, or rich with data?
Most weather apps go one of two wrong ways. They bury you in bells and whistles, tabs and dashboards and numbers you never asked for, or they strip themselves so bare that the data you actually need is gone. Shinkai Sky takes a third path: minimal and quietly beautiful on the surface, genuinely data rich underneath, and never overwhelming. It even reads the weather for you, so staying simple never means missing what matters. And it stays in the present: today and the next 24 hours, the window you actually live in, not a ten-day forecast you will never act on.
Free. No account, no tracking. It has one real job: to get you back outside.
What it does
- Calm on top, deep when you want it. A quiet glance up front: one temperature, today's curve, sunrise and sunset. Hourly trends one click down: temperature, wind and gusts, sun and clouds, humidity and UV, with now always dead center.
- It reads the weather for you. A language model pulls the one thing that matters into a plain sentence: a wind shift, a cold front moving in, when the rain stops, what to wear.
- Today and the next 24 hours. The part of the forecast that actually shapes whether you go out, not a ten-day guess you cannot trust.
- Made to get you outside. Quiet seasonal touches (snow when it snows, petals in spring, leaves in autumn) make it feel like the season around you. Built to be glanced at and closed.
What it leaves out
Accounts and logins, endless menus, dashboards by numbers, and the noise that makes you read the weather instead of stepping into it.

What's new
2026-07-26
- Today's kit now splits into what to wear now and what to bring, and each thing you bring says when it starts to matter, so you can tell at a glance whether it applies to your day.
- It stopped looking at the whole day's high when you check in the evening. At 9pm it now dresses you for the evening, not for the afternoon that already happened.
- Rain and snow advice is fixed: it was reading the wrong days, it withheld an umbrella if you already had a coat, and it offered no boots at all when it was going to snow.
2026-07-25
- Settings has an envelope in the corner for sending feedback, and a way to rate the app where you got it.
- The sky is taller, and the clouds drift more slowly and sit better against the temperature.
- On iPhone, the city name and settings now clear the camera area properly, and nothing hides behind them.
- When a weather station has not reported for a while, the temperature switches to the forecast for right now and tells you how old the data is, instead of quietly showing an old reading.

- A new look, shared with the rest of the tinytoolsstack tools, and a designed dark theme.
- Swipe sideways to move between your saved cities.

- Shinkai Sky now warns you about severe weather. When there's an active severe or extreme alert for your area, it takes priority over the usual outfit tip.
