VeraCast: Weather & Alerts

New in 2.0.2: dependable severe weather alerts even when the app is closed, watches and advisories for your exact area, and air-quality-aware advice across the whole app.

VeraCast is a weather app done right.

Built natively for iOS 26 with Apple's Liquid Glass design language, VeraCast delivers fast, accurate, beautifully presented weather with no ads and no tracking. Free to download, with an optional Premium subscription for the extras.

YOUR DAY, EXPLAINED IN PLAIN ENGLISH An on-device AI briefing reads the forecast for you: what the day actually feels like, when rain starts, and what matters most. Every suggestion is grounded in the real numbers, including air quality, so you never get jacket advice on a hot evening.

ALERTS YOU CAN COUNT ON Severe weather warnings, watches, and advisories from the National Weather Service, delivered fast even when the app is closed. Live Activities keep an active warning on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island until it expires.

RADAR AND MINUTE-BY-MINUTE RAIN Animated radar, precise rain and thunder timing for the next hour (Premium), hurricane tracking, earthquake awareness, and a full 7-day forecast with hourly detail.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO More than 19 activity outlooks, running, cycling, hiking, gardening, camping, lawn care, and more, each rated for today and the week ahead, and air-quality aware. The pet walk outlook tells you when it's safe for your dog, from pavement heat to AQI.

MORE THAN WEATHER Air quality, pollen counts, tides, sunrise and sunset, moon phases, an astro-weather horoscope (Premium), trip planning with stop-by-stop forecasts, home and lock screen widgets, and a full Apple Watch app with complications.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts. No ads. No tracking, ever. Your location is used to fetch your forecast, never to profile you.

Weather data from Apple WeatherKit, Open-Meteo, the National Weather Service, and NOAA.
