Weather Meter is a small macOS menu bar app. It blends up to five weather services into one best-consensus forecast, and shows a confidence score, so you know how much the sources actually agree before you decide on the umbrella.
Free & open source iPhone and Apple Watch coming soon.
Weather Meter sits in your menu bar showing the temperature and a condition icon. Click it and a popover drops down with the full forecast — current conditions, the next twelve hours, a ten-day outlook, and a line telling you how many sources agreed and how confident the blend is.
Live · 5 sources · 81% sure. When the services agree, confidence is high. When they diverge — the cases where a single weather app would just pick one and sound certain — Weather Meter tells you it's a closer call.
The twelve-hour view switches between cards and a graph. The graph plots the next half-day and lets you flip the line between temperature, feels-like, wind, rain chance, and humidity — so "it cools off later" stops being a vibe and becomes a curve you can point at.
Pick Celsius or Fahrenheit, mph or km/h. Decide what the menu bar shows beyond the temperature — the condition description, the confidence score, the font and icon size that fit your bar. Choose whether the popover opens to cards, the graph, or both. The Sources tab is where you add provider keys and choose which services join the blend.
The Mac menu bar app is available now. iPhone and Apple Watch versions are on the way to the App Store — a full iOS app with home-screen widgets, a watchOS app, and complications, all reading the same consensus blend from a shared cached snapshot so your widgets stay current without draining a quota. One forecast, everywhere you glance.

Most weather apps pick one source and sound certain. Weather Meter shows you the agreement, and lets you decide.
It's a measure of how much the weather services agree. When several sources predict similar temperatures, wind, and rain, the blend is tight and confidence is high. When they diverge, confidence drops and the score tells you so. It isn't a probability that the forecast is "correct" — it's an honest read on how much consensus there is behind the number you're looking at.
Apple WeatherKit, OpenWeather, Open-Meteo, MET Norway, and Tomorrow.io. WeatherKit and the free open services (Open-Meteo, MET Norway) work without any setup. OpenWeather and Tomorrow.io are optional and use your own API keys if you want them in the blend. You choose which sources participate in the Sources tab.
No. Out of the box, Weather Meter uses Apple WeatherKit and free open services, which is enough for a solid consensus. If you already have OpenWeather or Tomorrow.io keys, you can add them for more sources in the blend. Keys are stored in your Keychain, marked synchronizable to your own Apple ID, and never sent to a server we run. Weather Meter is built to stay within free quotas.
On your device. There's no Abokado account and no backend. If you enable sync, Weather Meter uses your private iCloud key-value store to keep saved locations and preferences in step across your own devices — the same iCloud you already use, scoped to your Apple ID. Nothing about where you check the weather is sent to us.
Official alerts are passed through with their source attribution and details intact. Weather Meter doesn't rewrite or summarize an alert into something that loses the original wording — when a meteorological agency issues a warning, you see it the way they issued it.
Coming soon, on the App Store. A full iPhone app with home-screen widgets, an Apple Watch app, and complications are in development. They read the same consensus blend from a shared cached snapshot, so widgets and complications stay current without each one making its own provider requests. The Mac menu bar app is available today.
Like the other Abokado Labs menu bar apps, Weather Meter is distributed directly — signed and notarized by Apple, with Sparkle handling updates — so it can use your own provider keys and behave like a true menu bar utility without App Store sandbox concessions. The iPhone and Apple Watch versions will ship through the App Store, where that model fits.
Weather Meter is open source under the MIT license, alongside Model Meter and Bandwidth Meter. Read it, fork it, file an issue when something breaks, or open a pull request when you want the next version to do something it doesn't yet.
