Weather Fables: Cute Widgets

The weather, told as a fable.

Every morning a character steps out of the book with your real forecast: one hand-lettered line, in a voice that belongs to nobody else.

They are not mascots. Each of the sixteen Companions has a life of their own, with things they love, things they can't stand and habits they will never give up, and all of it colours the way they tell your sky. Nemesi is royal and spoiled; Ade, her gentle giant, hides behind her and is sure nobody can see him. Their sons: Ares goes looking for trouble in every thunderstorm, and Kronos takes your lap. Dyna would do anything for a sunbeam, even on the coldest morning. Vikis sleeps through the snow, loudly. Timis spends clear nights pushing his person off the pillow, an inch at a time. A crimson dragon adores a heatwave, and a walrus dozes through the rain and tells you about it anyway.

And they are connected. Some are family, some share a history, and every one of them is keeping something back. Their stories unfold a line at a time through the year, and no line comes back for a year, so every morning is a new page.

Pythia, who keeps the book by lantern light, tells your weather for free. The whole sky brings every Companion: let the sky choose who steps forward each morning, or choose one, and the whole app follows their voice, from the widgets on your Home Screen to the notes on your Lock Screen.

Underneath the fable is a real weather app: Apple Weather data, ten days ahead, hour by hour, with the day's details (feels like, UV, humidity, wind, pressure and more), for as many places as you like, on iPhone and iPad. And the book travels with you: your own place follows you wherever you go, and so do its widgets.
