Forecast Bar - Weather + Radar
macOS / Météo
The weather app that lives in your menu bar.
Forecast Bar puts hyper-accurate weather one glance away. Three independent data sources — The Weather Company, Apple Weather, and the NWS — combine for the best possible accuracy. The temperature, conditions, or any data point you care about sits quietly in your menu bar, and a single click opens a rich, animated forecast with an hourly timeline, 15-day outlook, radar, alerts, and AI-powered weather stories.
MENU BAR WEATHER, REIMAGINED
Seven display styles, up to five independent items per screen, each showing a different data point — temperature, feels-like, humidity, wind, UV, precipitation chance, and more. Live updates every refresh, adjustable sizing, and per-screen height memory so nothing jumps when you switch monitors.
THE FORECAST POPOVER
One click opens a richly detailed, scrollable forecast: current conditions with a "next hour" precipitation narrative, an animated 48-hour timeline, a tappable 15-day outlook, full NWS severe weather alerts, an inline mini radar, and expandable detail screens for every metric — temperature, wind, UV, pollen, AQI, pressure, sun, and moon.
TEAR-AWAY PANEL
Drag the popover off the menu bar and it becomes its own window — complete with title bar and close button — that you can park anywhere on your desktop. Perfect for severe weather days, second-monitor setups, or keeping an eye on the hourly timeline while you work. Drag back to snap home, or press Escape to redock.
SMART WEATHER STORIES (Pro)
AI-powered daily briefings written just for you. Choose a tone — Just the Facts, Friendly Narrative, or a custom prompt — and Forecast Bar surfaces what actually matters: "Grab a jacket for the 3pm meeting — a cold front arrives at 2." Optionally factors in your calendar and refreshes throughout the day.
FULL-FEATURED RADAR
A standalone radar window with live precipitation worldwide, future radar, precipitation type, satellite, live lightning, 24-hour totals, temperature and wind maps, UV index, driving conditions, and aurora forecast. NWS warnings draw directly on the map, and critical alerts can break through Do Not Disturb.
NOTIFICATIONS THAT ACTUALLY HELP
NWS alerts the moment they're issued for every US location you save. Pro adds precipitation nowcasts, custom alerts on any data point, morning and evening reports, sunset and earthquake alerts, aurora alerts, and celestial events — all with quiet hours and granular controls.
