Backyard Weather Station

A fast, beautiful home for your Ambient Weather station — live conditions, trends, a barometric outlook, sunrise & moon, and a home-screen widget.

Backyard Weather Station is a fast, beautiful native home for your personal Ambient Weather station. It talks directly to the Ambient Weather service with your own API keys — no extra account, no middleman — and shows your hyperlocal conditions far more clearly than the stock app.

LIVE DASHBOARD • Big, glanceable current temperature with “feels like” • Plain-language conditions summary and a backdrop that shifts with the weather • Trend arrows showing how each reading is moving over the last hour • Wind compass with gusts and the day’s peak • Humidity, dew point, pressure, UV, solar, rainfall, indoor, and lightning tiles • Rearrange the tiles to put what matters first

GO DEEPER • Tap any reading for 24-hour and 7-day history charts • Records screen: highs and lows for every metric, with when they happened • Comfort metrics: heat index, wind chill, cloud base, and frost alerts

KNOW WHAT’S COMING • A barometric (Zambretti) 24-hour outlook derived from your pressure trend • Sunrise and sunset with the sun’s live position on a daylight arc • Current moon phase and illumination

ON YOUR HOME SCREEN • Small and medium widgets with current conditions and a last-updated time • Share a clean conditions card to Messages, social, anywhere

PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Your API keys are stored only in the iOS Keychain on your device • No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs, no data sent to us

Backyard Weather Station requires an Ambient Weather station and a free API key + application key from your Ambient Weather account (ambientweather.net/account).
