Overview
SkyePie is a weather app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac (via Mac Catalyst) with an optional Apple Watch app and watch face complication. It shows forecasts, maps, alerts, and customizable display settings.
SkyePie is developed by Anthony Pezzimenti.
SkyePie does not sell your data, show ads, or use your information for cross-app tracking.
Information the app uses
Location
SkyePie uses your device’s location to show weather for where you are or for locations you search for.
When In Use: to fetch current weather and forecasts while you use the app.
Always (optional): if you grant it, SkyePie can update your Apple Watch complication when you travel. This uses significant location changes (roughly when you move about 500 m–1 km), not continuous GPS tracking.
On Apple Watch, location may also be used to refresh weather directly on the watch.
Location coordinates are sent from your device to third-party weather providers to retrieve forecast data. SkyePie does not create a user account from your location and does not use location for advertising.
You can change or revoke location access at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services → SkyePie on your iPhone, or in the Watch app for Apple Watch permissions.
Weather and map data
Weather requests are made from your device to third-party services, including:
WeatherAPI.com (primary weather and alerts provider)
OpenWeatherMap (fallback weather provider and some map layers)
RainViewer (radar / precipitation map data)
OpenStreetMap contributors (base map tiles)
When you request weather, these services receive the information needed to return a result — typically including location coordinates (latitude/longitude) and standard network request data (such as IP address), which is handled under each provider’s own privacy policy.
SkyePie does not control how those third parties process data once it leaves your device.
Push notifications (optional)
If you enable notifications, SkyePie may send weather alerts to your device. Apple’s push notification system is used to deliver these messages. You can turn notifications off at any time in iOS Settings.
SkyePie does not require an account to use push notifications.
Data stored on your device
SkyePie stores some information locally on your device to improve performance and work offline, including:
Saved locations and favorites
Cached weather data
App settings (units, theme, display preferences)
Watch sync data shared between the iPhone app, Apple Watch app, and complication via Apple’s App Groups and WatchConnectivity
This on-device data is not uploaded to a SkyePie-owned server.
Apple Watch
If you use SkyePie on Apple Watch, weather information and settings may be synced between your iPhone and Watch so the app and complication stay up to date. This sync happens through Apple’s system services; SkyePie does not operate its own cloud account for Watch data.
Information SkyePie does not collect in the app
SkyePie does not:
Require you to create an account
Collect your name, email address, or payment information inside the app
Display advertisements
Use third-party analytics or advertising trackers
Sell or rent your personal information
Website waitlist (separate from the app)
If you choose to join the SkyePie waitlist or mailing list on our website (skyepie.framer.website or skyepie.com.au), you may optionally provide your email address.
Emails are stored securely (for example, in Google Sheets) and used only for beta invitations or product updates related to SkyePie.
Waitlist emails are not sold or used for unrelated marketing.
Waitlist emails will be deleted when they are no longer needed (for example, after the beta period ends).
Providing an email on the website is optional and separate from using the SkyePie app.
