BIG WEATHER
Not the worst weather app for your menu bar.
One glance at your menu bar tells you the temperature. One click opens the full picture: when the rain starts and when it clears, forecasts up to 10 days out, and UV levels for the next few days.
Free on the Mac App Store · Universal Binary (Apple Silicon & Intel) · Requires macOS 15.0+
Engineered for macOS
No bloated web wrappers. Just crisp, native Swift & SwiftUI typography and animations designed specifically for your menu bar.
Hourly Wave: 48h to 10 Days
Interactive bezier curve with instant time-point scrubbing. Inspect exact hourly temperatures, rainfall amounts, and upcoming shifts at a glance — then stretch the same wave out to 5 or 10 days, still hour by hour, with the Power Pack.
