SPECTRA / Weather
Ambient weather & widgets
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Spectra is a minimalist weather app that renders live conditions as full-screen, generative visualizations — no icons, no charts, no clutter. Powered by Apple WeatherKit, with precise data one swipe away.
ATMOSPHERIC VISUALIZATIONS
Every condition becomes a distinct, full-screen animation:
CLEAR — a spectrum of light that tracks the sun
RAIN — dynamic precipitation lines
CLOUDS — a drifting noise-field atmosphere
WIND — vortex topology
SNOW — slow particle descent
THUNDER — branching lightning vectors
HEAT — rising thermal plumes
GENERATIVE, NOT CANNED
Every visualization is drawn in real time from live data. Intensity, density, and motion shift continuously with actual conditions — rain at 2 mm/h looks nothing like rain at 15 mm/h. No two moments are identical.
TIME-AWARE
Clear-sky visuals follow the sun — light beams widen toward noon and narrow at dusk, then fade from day to twilight to night.
THE DATA, WHEN YOU WANT IT
Swipe up for precise local readings from Apple WeatherKit:
- Temperature and feels-like
- Hourly forecast
- 7-day outlook
- Wind speed and precipitation
- Sunrise and sunset
WIDGETS
- A full-screen scene widget that mirrors the live visualization

- Lock Screen: current conditions, or the next few hours
Free for everyone.

Ratings & Reviews
New
— CLEAR, REBUILT. A new light model draws the sun's spectrum with real optical dispersion — in monochrome and in color.
— Lock Screen widgets: current conditions, or the next few hours.
Now free for everyone
— All Home Screen widgets, previously part of the Full Version.
Also
— Pick a city by hand without unlocking, so Spectra works without location access.
Fixed
— The Full Version now stays unlocked even when the App Store can't be reached, and Restore Purchases reports its result clearly — everywhere.
— Severe conditions — sleet, hail, hurricanes — are now named properly in forecasts and widgets.
