Weather radar & forecasts

Because your 9 AM meeting is still on, despite everything.

Dreadcast is the radar-first weather app that gives you a clear view of conditions outside — no matter how extreme. From the beach to the bunker, at least you’ll know what to expect.

Wind Fields

Which direction is the worst heading?

Wind is drawn as moving particles, so you can see exactly where it's headed, how fast it's going, and where your furniture might end up. Customize the theme and particles to your taste.

Current Forecast

See what's happening now and what's coming next. Charts and graphs track temperature, rain, wind, humidity, and the odds we'll make it through another week. Plan accordingly.

Layers

Over a dozen layers to customize.

Radar, satellite, and wind up top. Weather events together. Pro layers clearly marked. The new Layers panel keeps your map organized, however disorderly things get outside.

Notifications

Weather alerts that matter.

The world is generous with things to worry about. Tell Dreadcast which ones deserve your attention (severe weather, tropical advisories, nearby wildfires, and lightning, if you're into that) and they'll show up as native notifications on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

Native Apps

Built for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and the bunker.

Dreadcast was built and optimized specifically for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. Our rendering engine is fine-tuned for clear visuals and runs quietly in the background, regardless of how many situations you’re monitoring.

Dreadcast CLI in a terminal window: animated radar around Tampa, Florida, under current conditions and rain timing, then the Systems table, saved places, and a full-screen Asteroid Watch scene. Recorded readings, not a live forecast.
Dreadcast CLI

The outlook is terminal.

Current conditions, animated radar, forecasts, alerts, rain timing, and illustrated outlooks—all in a standalone, open-source terminal app. Start with dread, explore individual commands, or pipe JSON into your scripts. No Mac app required. For those who prefer their bad news in monospace.

Available for Mac and Linux macOS 13+ · Linux on x86_64 and arm64
