Local-first emergency intel & synthesized storm warnings.

Rebuilt from the ground up as a subscription-free, local-first emergency utility. Weather Belt stands on three core pillars: ๐บ๏ธ 1. Local-First Architecture: Offline map caching and geofenced NWS alerts optimized for Apple Satellite mode. ๐ง 2. Synthesized Intelligence: Cross-analyzes live data feeds and scanner patterns for tailored local threat profiles. ๐ 3. Zero-Tracking: No ads, no subscriptions, and absolute privacy. A single, honest lifetime license.
Love the no-subscription angle and the focus on offline map caching. One thing that would really help here is adding a shared family alert system, like letting me designate a couple of trusted contacts who automatically get my location and a push if an NWS warning fires for my saved zones, so loved ones know I'm safe when cell service drops.
The Apple Satellite mode optimization is a really thoughtful touch that sets this apart from the usual weather app clutter. Love that the alerts work geofenced with cached maps when connectivity is patchy.
genuinely love that you built this around offline map caching for satellite mode, that's the kind of detail most weather apps completely ignore and it's huge when you're actually in a storm area with no signal
The local-first approach with offline map caching for satellite mode is genuinely smart, especially for rural areas where weather alerts matter most. Appreciate that you prioritized function over a subscription model.
Love that you made offline satellite mode a first-class citizen instead of an afterthought. The lifetime license with no tracking feels almost radical in this space.
