Forecast Bar offers hyper accurate, hyper local live weather and forecasts right in your menu bar or as a dock app. With your choice of The Weather Company or Dark Sky, always have the most accurate weather data. Keep your locations and settings in sync across your devices. Custom icon and background packs allow you to customize the look and feel to suit your style.

Opening Forecast Bar displays a gorgeous resizable panel full of relevant weather information, including:
- Current conditions, with current, feels like, high, and low temperatures, cloud conditions, as well as relative humidity, air quality and pollen counts
- A succinct description, available in over 40 languages, of the weather for the next hour, and next 24 hours
- Create a customized weather summary to use in the app and widget which can contain any combination of 20 data points with everything from wind speeds to location of the nearest storm!
- When precipitation is detected in the next 7 hours, a chart showing rain/snow intensity
- 14 day forecast, with high and low temperatures and weather conditions
- Stunning icons for each weather condition (plus additional downloadable icon packs)
- A gorgeous image matching the weather conditions (which can be dimmed or hidden entirely, from either built-in or downloadable sources)
- Full description of all local NWS severe weather alerts (U.S. only), including Notification Center support
- Animated radar and satellite imagery
- View current temperature and weather conditions at up to 8 locations at once (Premium)
- Select a nearby Personal Weather Station for even more hyper-local weather including Netatmo weather stations (Premium)

Clicking again on the current conditions displays an animated panel with additional information, including:
- Current wind conditions with an animated compass
- Dew point and humidity readings, with a "mugginess" animated gauge
- Pressure indicator with trend information
- Sunrise and sunset times for the day
- Moon phase
- Visibility reading
- UV Index
- more!

You can click on any day's forecast to see a full 24 hour temperature, precipitation, wind, humidity and UV index chart, along with an hour-by-hour sky condition chart.

Forecast Bar automatically determines your location to provide hyper-local weather data. In addition, you can store unlimited favorited locations, and switch between them easily using keyboard shortcuts.

Forecast Bar supports Dark Sky’s Time Machine. Time Machine lets you check the weather conditions at a given time, in the past 70 years or the next 70 years. 

Forecast Bar offers full support for light and dark menu bar modes, and carefully conserves your computer's power. You can even fully customize what shows in your menu bar or dock on your dock badge. Assign a global keyboard shortcut to show Forecast Bar any time! Even more, there is a Today widget you can use in your Notification Center.

Good app

Convenient, easy to use, lots of data.

Very Dissappointed

I have used FCB for a few years and have been happy with it- until this year. Dark Sky had been the data providor and the app was working fine. The Weather Company has replaced Dark Sky and the app no longer works. I am using a little older mac and Big Sur OS. FCB will mostly not open. Even when it does initiate, it will crash after a few hours. I have spent a lot of time trying to figure out why FCB keeps crashing now. My suspiciion is that there is a memory issue related to the data feed from The Weather Company. The biggest dissappointment is the providor of the app. I have sent numerous email requests for support and all I get is crickets. Further, I have been paying an annual fee for at least a couple of years for a subscription - which now will not work. Very dissapointed in the comapny's dissmissive attitude to their customers. I do not advocate purhcasing from them, and I think Apple should eliminate them from the App Store if they are charging for subscriptions but refuse to provide support.

I rely on this app.

I use it daily (sometimes several times). It helps me plan my daily activities. Good job and reasonably priced.

Amazing App (When It Works)

I've been using FB for years, but lately I've had to uninstall / reinstall every few days to get it to respond. The menu bar icon is accurate, but I get no response when clicking on it for details unless I completely reboot. That said, when it's working it's still the best mune bar weather app.

Brilliant

Loooooong time satisfied user. My friends want to know my secret source! Absolutely love the new features and updates, and as a gold level user, am finding it even better. The iWatch changes caught me by suprise, and then delighted me even more. Yes, these are computers and sometimes they need a reboot, and but then "glitches" disappear.

Great when it works, but it doesn't

It's a great weather app that provides lots of visual information and quite accurate predictions but one day the app just stopped working, displaying only a blank screen. For several weeks and multiple support requests, there has been no response. Based on the recent reviews, the type of issue and lack of response seems to be a common occurance. It appears like this app may have been abandoned without telling anyone.

aweful

I actually love it when i first subscribed to the service but its became quite horrible. I would say about 80-90% of the time the weather map won't load & quite often in the tool bar it will no long respond to clicks. I emailed the developer(s) over a month ago with the issues i was having &, of course, no response. Apparently they aren't giving it the time its needed. I don't know if this matters but both machines i run it on are apple silicon machines (maybe it works fine with x86 but with apple silicon its a piece of ....). Unfortunately i "auto" renewed my subscription at the start of the month. I will make sure this doesn't happen again & i will dump the app.
