SkyStatus

SKYSTATUS — REAL-TIME WEATHER IN YOUR MENU BAR SkyStatus brings accurate, hyperlocal weather straight to your Mac’s menu bar — no windows to manage, no widgets to dig through, and absolutely no bloat. Just clear, live weather, always in view. Whether you need to know the UV index before stepping outside, check for incoming rain, or simply see if it’s cold enough for a jacket — SkyStatus is always ready, always visible, and always minimal. DESIGNED FOR FOCUSED USERS SkyStatus was built with one goal: to show you the weather without taking you out of your flow. It’s made for developers, writers, editors, designers — anyone who wants environmental awareness without visual noise. - Always-visible temperature in the menu bar - Optional icon showing current conditions (cloud, sun, rain, moon, etc.) - Minimal system footprint - Seamlessly matches your Mac’s dark or light mode FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS MENU BAR DISPLAY - Current temperature and weather condition in real time - Supports both Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F) HOURLY FORECAST - Up to 12 hours ahead - Includes temperature, conditions, and precipitation chance DAILY FORECAST - Three-day overview with high/low temps and rain likelihood - Icons and layout optimized for quick reading DETAILED WEATHER STATS - Wind speed and direction - Atmospheric pressure - Humidity levels - UV index - Sunrise and sunset times CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS - Switch between °C/°F and km/h or mph - Choose between automatic location or manual input - Optional icon-only or text display in the menu bar - Toggle background updates and behavior on launch PRIVACY FIRST SkyStatus doesn’t collect your data. There’s no account, no analytics, and no tracking. Location usage is solely for providing accurate weather — and you’re always in control. BUILT FOR MACOS SkyStatus was crafted specifically for macOS using native SwiftUI and AppKit elements. It feels like a true part of the system, not a cross-platform afterthought. - Fully native experience - Supports macOS 14.6 or later - Runs natively on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs - Optimized for macOS windowing and menu bar behavior LIGHTWEIGHT AND FAST The app loads instantly, uses minimal memory, and runs quietly in the background. It doesn’t spam you with notifications. It doesn’t need fullscreen views. It doesn’t compete with your attention. It’s just weather, done right. WHY SKYSTATUS? Because you shouldn’t have to open a full weather app just to know if it’s about to rain. Because sometimes all you want is one glance. Because elegance is in restraint. FINAL NOTES SkyStatus is made by a solo developer who believes that small tools should be crafted with care. Every pixel and detail was tuned to fit the macOS environment beautifully.
