Grab it.
Drag anywhere and the temperature turns. Hold it to switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit. Below freezing it frosts over. In wind it sways. In sun it catches the light. Feels like sits under it and turns with it.
One village. Every sky.
The same cottage, windmill and hills under clear sky, cloud, rain, snow, storm, fog and wind, by day and by night. Rain lands on the ridge. Snow settles on the roof. Fog eats the far hills first.
Hourly forecast, then ten days.
Swipe up for rain minute by minute where Apple Weather has radar, then 24 hours you scrub with a thumb while the sky follows. Swipe on for ten days with highs, lows and a range bar. Tap a day and the village becomes that day.
Weather alerts where you already look.
Official weather warnings from the authority for your country sit under the headline with the time they end. Thunder lights the number. Nothing to dig for.
Sun, moon and the air.
Sunrise, sunset, the length of the day and the phase of the moon as one drawing. Feels like, humidity, wind, pressure, UV, visibility and cloud cover in numbers you can read from across the table.

Small Skies is made by one person, Gjorge Karakabakov, a software engineer in Skopje, North Macedonia. There is no company behind it, no account to create and no analytics.
The idea is simple. The temperature is the thing you opened a weather app to learn, so it is the biggest thing on the screen, and everything else, the village, the hours, the days, waits underneath it. One scene, one number, one price.
