Project Overview

RetroWeather reimagines the daily forecast as a retro computing experience. No radar maps, no news feeds — just the weather you need, styled like output from a vintage terminal or handheld console.

🎯 Key Features

11 Gaming-Console Themes: Switch between CRT green-on-black, Game Boy palettes, NES blues, synthwave neon, and more. Each theme transforms the entire interface including widgets and app icons.

NOW · NEXT · WEEK: Three focused tabs keep things simple. See current conditions and hourly data, a 6-hour outlook, or a full 7-day dot-matrix forecast with weekend summaries and packing tips.

Glanceable Data: Temperature, feels-like, wind, UV, humidity, sunrise/sunset, and precipitation probability — all rendered in pixel-perfect monospaced typography with scanline overlays.

Saved Cities & Travel: Swipe between multiple locations with a clean city picker. Perfect for checking home and destination weather at a glance.

Widgets & Alerts: Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets match your theme. Rain and weather notifications keep you ahead of the day without opening the app.

🌟 Impact

RetroWeather targets retro gamers, minimalists, and aesthetic-first iOS users who want forecasts that feel as distinctive as the rest of their home screen — calm, focused, and instantly readable.
