ClearSky: Airport METAR Widget
See critical airport weather the moment you unlock your phone. ClearSky delivers live METAR and TAF data directly to powerful iOS widgets, so pilots can monitor aviation weather without opening an app.
Designed for speed and clarity, ClearSky turns raw METAR reports and aviation forecasts into clean, readable airport weather summaries. Whether you are planning a cross-country or checking conditions before engine start, the information you need is always visible.
What ClearSky Does
ClearSky provides real-time METAR and TAF reports for your selected airports and displays them in customizable weather widgets. Track ceiling, visibility, wind, altimeter, and key flight planning data at a glance. Stay ahead of changing pilot weather conditions with fast, reliable updates built for aviation workflow.
Key Features
• Live METAR and TAF reports for any supported airport
• Home Screen and Lock Screen iOS widgets
• Clean decoding of raw METAR data
• Clear display of ceiling, visibility, wind, and altimeter
• Quick access to multiple airports
• Designed for fast preflight checks
• Minimal interface focused on essential aviation weather
Why Widgets Matter
During flight planning, speed matters. Digging through apps to find airport weather slows you down. ClearSky places live weather widgets directly on your Home Screen, so METAR and TAF updates are always visible.
Check crosswinds before departure. Monitor ceilings while watching radar. Confirm visibility minimums before filing. With ClearSky, aviation weather becomes part of your daily workflow instead of a separate step.
Built for Real Pilots
ClearSky is designed with a pilot-first mindset. The layout prioritizes the data that affects real-world decisions: ceiling, visibility, wind direction and speed, gusts, altimeter settings, and forecast trends.
The app avoids clutter and unnecessary graphics. Every screen and widget is built to support faster flight planning and better situational awareness.
Use Cases
Preflight Briefing
Review METAR and TAF reports instantly before departure without navigating through multiple menus.
Enroute Checks
Monitor destination airport weather and aviation forecast changes directly from your widgets.
Crosswind Decisions

Ceiling and Visibility Awareness
Track IFR and VFR conditions at a glance for smarter go or no-go decisions.
ClearSky keeps airport weather simple, visible, and actionable. For pilots who rely on METAR, TAF, and real-time aviation weather, ClearSky delivers the essential data where it matters most: right on your screen.
