Welcome to Indie App Spotlight. This is a weekly 9to5Mac series where we showcase the latest apps in the indie app world. If you are a developer and want your app to be featured here, please contact us.

Weather mini is a beautifully designed weather app for the entire Apple ecosystem, adding several key features that Apple Weather lacks. You can plan your travels, chat with the on-device Apple Intelligence model for forecasts, and it even includes a fully-featured Apple Watch app.

Highlighted Features

First of all, Weather mini uses Apple’s WeatherKit, so if you have been a user of Apple Weather before, you don’t need to worry too much about the overall reliability of the data.

You can check Travel Forecasts with Weather mini. If you are about to go on a trip, you can provide dates to Weather mini and track the weather at your destination in advance. This is extremely useful thanks to the app’s ability to save, allowing you to continue checking the situation as your trip approaches. This is a great source of peace of mind.

Weather mini contains many beautiful features that make it feel at home in the Apple ecosystem; these include a Mac dock icon that tracks real-time weather and integration with Siri. Additionally, there is a beautiful Apple Watch app available with complication support.

Finally, Weather mini uses on-device Apple Intelligence models to facilitate natural language searches for forecast details. Every aspect of the app is privacy-focused.

Download the App

Weather mini is available for free on the App Store for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Vision Pro, and Apple Watch. You can pay for Weather mini Plus for the full Weather mini experience, including live dock icon, all widgets, and multi-city support: $1.49 monthly, $12.99 annually, and $34.99 for a lifetime.

You can follow Weather mini on X/Twitter or Threads for updates.
