## Description

Hygrometer is a vintage-style relative humidity meter that provides a direct percent readout and a digital display with a dew point calculation for your current location. The interface evokes a classic wall meter while offering precise digital metrics useful for home comfort, instrument care, gardening, and weather awareness.

The extension reads humidity from your device's onboard sensor when available. If no sensor exists, it fetches measured relative humidity from local meteorological stations via the Yr.no (Meteorologisk institutt / NRK) service and can include optional altitude data from Open-Elevation. Lightweight and easy to use, Hygrometer blends retro design with modern web services to deliver reliable indoor and outdoor humidity information.

## Review summary

Users appreciate the app's user-friendly design and accurate indoor humidity readings on devices equipped with humidity sensors. It is particularly useful for monitoring indoor air dryness, benefiting sensitive items like guitars. However, many users without humidity sensors criticize the app for providing only outdoor humidity based on location, requiring location access and lacking clear notification about sensor limitations. Calibration options are unclear, and the absence of alert features reduces its usefulness.

### Pros

- User-friendly interface reported by some users.
- When the phone has a humidity sensor, the app provides accurate and true humidity readings.
- Helpful for monitoring indoor humidity, especially for preserving items sensitive to dryness like musical instruments.

### Cons

- App does not work properly on phones without a built-in humidity sensor; provides only outdoor humidity based on location.
- Requires location permission and provides outdoor humidity which some users find misleading or unwanted.
- No clear indication or notification if the device lacks a humidity sensor.
- Lack of calibration options or unclear how to calibrate the meter.
- No alarm feature to alert when humidity is outside a comfortable range.
