Most weather apps break the forecast into tiles: one for temperature, one for rain, one for wind, each with its own scale and its own hours. Lighthouse draws them together, so you can see the gust arrive with the shower and the temperature fall behind it, at a glance.
Temperature, feels like, rain, wind, cloud cover, UV, humidity and pressure share a single hourly timeline. Turn on the layers you care about; each keeps its own lane, and all of them line up in time.
A clear chart is only as good as the figures in it. Lighthouse shows forecasts from established weather services exactly as they are, keeps them current, and never patches one forecast with another.
Forecasts from established weather services, built on national and global weather models, hour by hour for all ten days. Lighthouse shows what they say; it doesn't invent a forecast of its own.
Severe weather warnings as national agencies issue them, with the agency named. They're rechecked as often as every half hour, and any that can't be confirmed are taken down.
Each layer comes whole from one forecast, and the app, its widgets and Apple Watch show the same figures for the same hour. With Lighthouse Pro, switch any layer to a second forecast to compare.
Above the chart, an illustrated sky shows the conditions before you read a number: clouds build before the rain, snow falls, the sun goes down. The sun and the moon, in its real phase, cross it as you move through the day, and sunrise, sunset and moonrise are marked on the timeline.
Swipe from afternoon into evening and watch the light change with the forecast.
Switch between your places and the conditions show at once: a bright afternoon in Honolulu, drizzle over Tokyo, snow in Tromsø, a storm in Lisbon.
Denver69° · Sunny
Honolulu81° · Partly Sunny
Tokyo53° · Drizzle
Tromsø30° · Snow
Lisbon66° · Rain
One continuous hourly timeline runs from the start of yesterday to ten days ahead. Swipe anywhere to move through time, and the chart and the readout move with you. Switch to 10 Days for each day's high, low and chance of rain in one list.
Under the temperature, one line says what the weather does next and when. Rain on its way comes first; while it rains, the line tells you when it stops. It's read off the same hours the chart draws, so the two never disagree, and it's there on Apple Watch and in the widgets too.
Animated maps of wind, rain, cloud cover, temperature and waves from global weather models, updated four times a day. Press play to watch a front sweep in, about five days ahead, and seven and a half for the waves.
On iPhone and iPad the map takes the forecast's place at a tap; on the Mac it sits in the sidebar with its layers.
Fahrenheit or Celsius; mph, km/h, m/s or knots; the pressure unit you're used to. Data labels on the chart when you want every figure.

Lighthouse, also called Lighthouse Weather, is a weather app for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch made by Rivolu LLC. It shows your whole forecast (temperature, feels like, rain, wind, cloud cover, UV, humidity and pressure) on one hourly chart that runs ten days ahead, under an illustrated sky that follows the real conditions and the time of day.
Most weather apps split the forecast into separate cards or screens, each on its own scale. Lighthouse puts every layer on one shared hourly timeline, so you can see how temperature, rain and wind change together. It shows established forecasts as they are, never patches one forecast with another, and keeps official alerts current. It adds a one-line outlook that says what changes next and when (such as "Rain from 4 PM"), an illustrated sky that follows the conditions, and animated weather maps. It has no ads, no account and no tracking.
Lighthouse doesn't make a forecast of its own: it shows forecasts from established weather services, built on national and global weather models, exactly as they give them. What Lighthouse adds is care in how they're shown. Each layer comes whole from one forecast, and where a forecast you chose can't cover a place, the default supplies the whole layer rather than filling gaps. Severe weather alerts are the official ones, rechecked as often as every half hour and taken down if they can't be confirmed. The app, its widgets and Apple Watch show the same figures for the same hour, and every time is the place's own local time.
Yes. Lighthouse is free to download, and the free version includes the full chart with all eight layers, ten days ahead, severe weather alerts, the Apple Watch app, the Mac menu bar forecast and the small Now and Next widget, for your current location and one saved place.

iPhone with iOS 26 or later, iPad with iPadOS 26 or later, Mac with macOS 26 or later, and Apple Watch with watchOS 11 or later. It is made for iPhone Duo too, with one forecast across both screens. Saved places sync between your devices through iCloud.
No. Lighthouse has no ads, no account, and no analytics or advertising SDKs, and it doesn't use the advertising identifier. Your location is used only to get the forecast where you are. The privacy policy at lighthouseweather.fyi/privacy explains what the app sends and why.
