Weather mini 3, with all-new illustrations and helpful trip forecasts, is now available on more devices. New trip forecasts show all your stops at once, instead of checking the weather city by city. On-device Apple Intelligence provides helpful trip insights directly from the device, making it safer and faster.
We first launched Weather mini for Mac here in 2020. Since then, a ton has changed — and today we’re back with Weather mini 3, a lightweight weather app for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Vision Pro.
What’s New in Version 3
All-new weather illustrations with animations
New widgets & Dock icons
Trip forecasts with Apple Intelligence
Trip forecasts is a new feature for iOS and iPadOS. (coming very soon to Mac and Vision Pro)
It lets you check the weather for places and dates all at once, so there’s no need to jump between apps when planning a trip, especially to unfamiliar places.
With on-device Apple Intelligence, you can just type something like “Tokyo and Hong Kong next week” and get trip insights like daily weather, summary, notes, city context, and clothing tips in a few seconds. All happens right on the device since we just use system frameworks like WeatherKit, no 3rd party services at all, which means: there’s no huge LLM downloading, no data sharing or uploading, no usage limits in the app.
That’s it, new design, same lightweight weather app, now available on more Apple devices.

Such beautiful illustrations. Just love how the color palettes and tones combined with UI.
Why an illustrated weather app?
As the designer behind Weather Mini, I wanted weather to feel less cold and data-heavy.
Even on a rainy day, a little illustration can brighten the moment.
If Weather Mini can give someone a tiny lift when the sky looks gloomy, that’s the goal.
Hey guys, great launch! Upvoted! Maybe a collab with rainbow ai could work for you well — they have the most accurate weather data (mostly precipitation for now) in the world and give it by API to others
When designing our AI features, we avoided third-party cloud services and heavy local LLM setups. Instead, we rely on what’s already built into users devices — no accounts, no downloads, no configuration. The goal is simple: a truly easy, “just works” experience that’s good enough to be useful in real life.
Great to see Weather mini for Mac back and stronger. From a clarity & onboarding lens: when a user opens the app for the first time, what’s the one belief you want them to hold in the first 10–15 seconds? Is it: • “I can glance at this and immediately know what matters for my day.” Or • “This isn’t just weather—it fits my workflow, right in the dock.” Because for glanceable Mac utilities, the difference between “nice app” and “essential app” often comes down to that first felt alignment.
Thanks for checking out Weather mini 3!
I’m Kai, developer of Weather mini, here with @Ann, who’s the designer of Weather mini. We are happy to answer your questions about development, new design, on-device AI, etc.
