Free and Open Source
- No proprietary blobs/dependencies (versions 5.0.0-alpha and later)
- Releases generated by GitHub actions, guaranteeing it matches the source code

-
Privacy-friendly
- No personal data collected by the app (link to app privacy policy)
- Multiple sources are available, with links to their privacy policies for transparency
- Current location is optional and not added by default
- If using current location, an IP location service can be used instead of GPS to send less accurate coordinates to weather source

Note: If the link isn’t working for you or if you can’t find the app, update the default F-Droid repository in your F-Droid client.
Best weather app I’ve used. FOSS but unlike most FOSS weather apps, it doesn’t FEEL like your typical FOSS alternative.
So it doesn’t feel better than the typical bloated half working must pay now and “sacrifice your first born” app?

In my experience, FOSS apps are not the alternative, they are what any app should be. They look, feel and work better than any paid app, yet people continue to call them “alternatives”

Lack of polish stems from open source apps having engineers write the code without necessarily having input from a UX designer, would you think?
Meanwhile if you have a paid app, you can use your budget to hire UX/QA etc.?

Heroes, they are. <3 FOSS devs
Any idea how many UX designers help with open source? KDE looks way better than windows (IMHO) and having used it for 20 years I just seriously wonder why people pay hundreds of dollars for windows crap while they can have something better for free
it also supports Gadgetbridge integration, so I get the weather data from it on my watch.
Here’s the TIL I need.

Same, thanks original commenter!
Can this be used on the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4?
My favorite feature is the 1-row weekly weather widget for my home screen. I have that next to its 1x1 widget for everything I want at a glance using minimal space.
Customized widgets is my number 1 desire for most apps
yeah maybe i’m dumb, but for example in the put a few cities widget they offer, I don’t seem to have the option to show for example air pollution instead of temperature. Bummer.
I’ve been using it for a while now and I love it. FOSS and pretty and customisable.
Hey, I use this app! It’s awesome. They also included lots of information about the air quality measurements, which I appreciated. For example:
Than you very much! I’ve been using this app for moths and I didn’t know this. Cool feature.
It’s the best weather app for Android. Beautiful design and great optimization.
I discovered this after giving up on the BBC weather app because it wants me to sign in.
It’s been really good, I love the details and it’s been getting regular updates. Recommended.
My weather app of choice for about a year now. Really nice interface and solid performance.
I’ve landed on it as the best blend of accurate and not terrifying for security
I guess I’ll keep this in the back of my mind, but I already migrated over to QuickWeather when Geometric Weather went unsupported. It stinks that I can’t swipe between locations anymore, but the built-in radar and higher information density outweigh switching back for me.

What? I didn’t have to subscribe to anything. Are you not choosing Open-Meteo?

Glad I saw this post today, downloaded and love it straight away! So clean and exactly what I wanted out of a FOSS weather app.
Ohh I’m so glad. I was on geometric weather and it stopped working a few weeks ago. It’s a beautiful app.
Ive been using it for over a year now and it has been a breeze
Does it have beautiful widget for home screen ?
Multiple, and very customisable
I was searching for a new weather app a few months ago and landed on Breezy - definitely the best one currently out there for Android!
Recently discovered it myself. Absolutely excellent.
