Noden

Forecasts, decided by daylight.

One shower at 6am,
and a sunny day reads as rainy.

Weather apps take the day’s headline from a summary built to be cautious, so one early shower files a sunny day under rain, and the high can come from an hour you slept through. Noden focuses on delivering forecasts that actually make sense for how you live your life.

An example day, clear but for one shower at 6am, before sunrise. The forecast’s own summary says Showers; Noden says Clear.

02 · The calls

Daylight decides the day.

The day is whatever most of its hours between sunrise and sunset are. Hours count by kind, so drizzle and showers add up instead of splitting, and a tie goes to the weather that matters more.

The high comes from the hours you’re out in.

The high is the warmest hour from 9am to 7pm, and the low the coolest from 6am to 10pm, so nothing overnight determines either. Every window is adjustable, though, and the whole rule has an off switch.

Nothing is hidden.

Letting daylight decide doesn’t mean leaving the rest out. If a shower is outnumbered, Noden still tells you about it: how many hours, and when.

03 · The count

Thirteen hours, counted by kind.

An example day: seven hours partly cloudy, three clear, two overcast, and one of rain. The rain is outnumbered, and still gets its sentence.

Open it, and the day is a picture.

The sun’s path across the sky with every daylight hour on it, the ground rising and falling with the temperature, and noon right on the fold. Hold any of the readings along the bottom, like humidity or wind, and its figures ripple up out of the ground, hour by hour.

05 · Light and dark

Light by default,
dark when you want it.

Noden stays light by default. Turn on Night mode, and it follows your phone between light and dark, widgets included. Both are equally simple and beautiful.
