About Skycast
Create a screen that shows more than just a wallpaper: your weather, your day, your style. Skycast transforms your Lock Screen and Home Screen into dynamic, personalized wallpapers and widgets—designed by you and kept up to date automatically. DESIGN YOUR OWN WALLPAPER Use the visual editor to build your design layer by layer. Add the temperature, weather forecasts, calendar events, reminders, health data, weather icons, photos, shapes, charts, maps, and much more. With more than 700 fonts, gradients, shadows, and an elegant glass effect, every theme can be customized down to the pixel. YOUR OWN HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Design widgets in the same editor—small, medium, large, or extra large. Couple a widget to your wallpaper and it shows exactly the region behind it, so it looks transparent. Or use Liquid Glass, iOS system glass, or your own photo as the backdrop. Clock, calendar, reminders, forecasts, weather alerts, RSS headlines, and Apple Music controls update live inside the widget. Tap actions open apps, links, and Shortcuts directly. Pages and toggleable folders put several views into one widget. AUTOMATICALLY STAY UP TO DATE Connect Skycast to the Shortcuts app and create an automation. Your wallpaper can then refresh in the morning, every hour, or whenever you choose. Widgets fetch weather and news on their own, even when the app is closed. Wake up to a screen that is already up to date. REAL-TIME WEATHER AND PERSONAL DATA Choose from four weather providers: • Open-Meteo — no API key required • The Weather Company • OpenWeatherMap • Pirate Weather Some providers require your own API key. Skycast displays current weather conditions, hourly and daily forecasts, sunrise and sunset times, moon phases, and severe weather alerts. Calendar events, reminders, steps, and location data can also be integrated directly into your designs. FOR EXPLORERS AND CREATORS Browse themes created by the community in the Discover tab or share your own themes—widgets included—via AirDrop. Want to take your designs even further? Create your own effects and interactive widgets using JavaScript and Canvas. Custom weather icon sets and background libraries are included. Join the iNNOVATION Discord community to get help, share your creations, and develop new ideas together. AVAILABLE IN YOUR LANGUAGE Skycast supports 32 languages and automatically adapts to your device language.
