ZonDot answers three questions and refuses the rest: how much sun
today, when the sun starts and stops, and what the wind and rain are
doing.

Three questions on one screen. Hours of sun as a number, not a picture
of a cloud.
Today, Amsterdam
24
Twenty-four dots for a day, ten days ahead as rows of the same.
The shape of a day before you read a number.
01
How much sun today
A number in hours, the clearest stretch beside it, and the hour the light runs out.
02
When the sun starts and stops
Sunrise, sunset and the span between them, drawn under the hours of the day. What has gone looks different from what is still ahead.
03
What the wind and rain are doing
One timeline for temperature, wind and rain, opened when you want it and folded away when you do not. Rain in words rather than millimetres: drizzle, light, moderate, heavy, downpour. Wind as a strength, not a vector to interpret.
The day in 24 dots
One dot per hour. Colour is the sky, fill is time, and the
whole day reads without a number in it.

Read any hour, and any day
Drag a finger across the chart and the reading follows it:
hour, temperature, sky. Let go and it returns to now.
Any hourAny day
The days ahead
Ten days, each a row of the same 24 dots with its hours of sun beside
it. Open any day and read it hour by hour.
Cities
Search by name and a city arrives with its region and country, so you
know which one you picked. No location permission to grant: there is no
location code in the app, which is why iOS never asks.
Without opening the app
Three faces, one question: how long until the sun. One on the
home screen, two on the lock screen.
