    The brief

    A single forecast number hides how much the sources disagree. Sunny needs to communicate uncertainty without making the everyday question — what is the weather doing? — harder to answer.

    The approach

    Lead with the sky overhead, keep the current reading large, and put source comparisons one level deeper. Today and Tonight give daytime conditions and the night sky their own clear places in the same interface.

    What people use instead

    • The default weather app

      What it does well

      Already on the phone, legible at a glance, and asks nothing of you. For most days that is genuinely the right product.

      Where it left a gap

      One number, no provenance. When it is wrong you have no way to know whether it was a close call or a model disagreeing loudly with four others, so you never learn how much to trust it tomorrow.

    • AccuWeather

      What it does well

      Deep forecasting with long-range detail and minute-level precipitation timing, built on serious meteorological work.

      Where it left a gap

      It still resolves to one confident answer. The spread between models — the part that tells you how certain today's forecast actually is — is the input, not the output.

    So we built

    Disagreement is the product. Seven services and eleven models shown side by side, with a public scorecard of which has actually been right.

    The same shell shifts to moon phase and the night ahead. App Store capture.

    04 / Visual identity

    A small system.
    A distinct character.

    A dark instrument panel, warm orange controls, and deliberate use of weather color. The interface gives the conditions more visual weight than the chrome.

    05 / Design in practice

    The details do the work.

    01

    Map first

    Radar occupies the top of the app, placing the forecast in its geographic context.

    02

    A clear day/night split

    Today and Tonight share a familiar shell while changing the information underneath.

    03

    Color carries meaning

    Orange marks action; forecast and radar colors describe the weather itself.
