01 / Magic Earth

A planet that breathes.

Five live overlays on a photoreal 3-D Earth. Pinch from continents to your back garden. Drag the terminator to chase the night. Watch storms move in real time.

SceneKit, hand-tuned shaders

Photoreal satellite base map, bundled offline Earth fallback, weather overlays remapped in-app for legibility, and a procedural starfield with the real UTC sun position.

Day, night & the terminator

Spin past dawn and watch the city-light emission map fade in. The shadow gradient tracks the real sun position — not a fake clock.

Pinch · drag · momentum

One-finger pan with horizontal sensitivity 0.006 and inverted vertical 0.004. Release into 0.985 deceleration that decays smoothly into idle rotation.

02 / Forecast & Analysis

A forecast you can read.

Editorial typography. Real meteorology. A 10-day overview, hourly charts that layer feels-like, rain & wind, and an AI weather-analysis card that tells you what the numbers actually mean for your day.

Press & scrub.

Long-press anywhere on the hourly chart and a floating tooltip cards the exact reading at your finger — 14° actual · 17° feels · 7 km/h ESE · 0% rain · 1015 hPa. Drag along the timeline; the layers re-evaluate live. Quick swipes still scroll. It feels uncannily like a real instrument.

  • · Six toggleable layers — Temp, Feels, Wind, Rain, Snow, Clouds
  • · Animated weather particles drawn on the graph (lightning bolts, raindrops, snowflakes)
  • · Pinch-rotate to landscape for the full-screen immersive chart
  • · AI-generated headline above the chart on iOS 26 (Apple Intelligence)

Built on a custom long-press recogniser that only locks the parent scroll views once you've held for ~0.2 seconds — quick swipes still scroll the page.

Wind compass

A wind that points.

A real instrument, not a number. The needle tracks live direction, the dial shows compass bearing, and a "Show Gusts" pill exposes gust speed and rolling deviation when conditions get spicy.

03 / Smart Notifications

Know before the sky does.

Magic Weather watches the atmosphere for you — from official tornado warnings and severe-weather feeds, real-time global lightning strikes, tropical-cyclone tracks and country-level travel advisories, all the way down to the rainbow that's about to appear when the rain stops.

Custom rules

Build your own alerts.

Want to know when humidity stays above 80% for 4 hours? Or when wind gusts breach 50 km/h overnight? Build a rule from 15 metrics with thresholds, durations and time windows.
