Why I Built This

I'm a film producer. We plan shoots months ahead. I live in my calendar app, scheduling crew, locations, equipment. Weather determines everything - can we shoot exteriors? Do we need rain covers? Should we push the shoot day?

I kept switching between calendar and weather apps like an idiot. Apple Calendar only shows weather if an event has a location. Google Calendar killed their weather feature. The services that exist are broken, limited to 7 days, or want $5/month for something that should be free.

I just wanted to glance at next Tuesday and see if it's going to rain. That's it.
