Skysoon counts down to what the sky does next: "12 min till it rains", "8h 21m till the sun sets". One glowing timeline shows the next hour, day or week. Free to download, with no account, no ads and no tracking. Skysoon+ is a one-time unlock.
Hi Product Hunt 👋 I'm David, and I made Skysoon.
Most weather apps give you a wall of numbers and leave you to do the math: will it rain before I walk home or not? I wanted an app that just answers the question, so Skysoon counts down to the next change that matters: "12 min till it rains", "~3 hours till the rain stops", "8h 21m till the sun sets".
What's inside:
⏱ Countdowns for rain starting and stopping, storms and gusts, snow, fog, sunrise and sunset, and warming and cooling
🌈 One glowing timeline for the next hour, 12 hours, 24 hours or the week, with clouds, rain and the sun's path drawn where they happen
👆 Slide a finger across the chart to read any moment, with VoiceOver support for stepping through it hour by hour
📱 Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, saved places, and a layout made for iPhone Duo
🔒 No account, no ads and no tracking. Forecasts come from Apple Weather.
Every countdown is free, along with the 1-hour and 12-hour views. Skysoon+ adds the 24-hour and week views, saved places, widgets, and the Neon Dawn and True Dark themes, and it keeps growing: alerts like "rain in 10 minutes" are next. It's a one-time purchase, not a subscription, so what I add later is included, and you can try it free for 7 days.
I'd love to hear which countdown you'd check most, and what you'd want Skysoon to count down to next.
This is an amazing app, David Taking the mental math out of weather forecasts is such a brilliant UX shift.
Since you asked what we’d want to count down to next—do you have any plans to allow users to tie countdowns to specific 'events' or time blocks? For example, I play football, and my friends and I often rent a ground for a couple of hours. It would be a lifesaver to input that specific time window and get a proactive alert if rain is going to hit exactly while we are on the pitch. and are you planning to make an app for android too?
Congrats on the launch
@muhammad_salman39 Thanks Muhammad, really appreciate it!
Alerts (push notifications and live activities) are on the roadmap. My personal use case is photography. If I plan a shoot around golden hour, I only care whether the sky holds for that hour, which is basically your football window. So being able to pick a time block and get a heads-up if rain is headed for it is exactly the kind of alert I want too.
Android: not right now. Skysoon is built natively for iPhone, and I want to get it right there first. If enough people ask, I’ll look into it.
