Should I Go Outside? - Weather app that tells you when to go outside

by
Stop decoding radar maps. Should I Go Outside? checks the weather and tells you if it's worth going out — YES, NO, or MAYBE. Set your preferences for activities like running, cycling, or hiking and get personalized forecasts. It even tracks air quality so you know what you're breathing. No accounts, no tracking, no clutter. Just the answer you actually need.

I had the idea for this app 10 years ago. I just wanted to know at a glance whether it was a good day to go cycling. Not a radar map. Not an hourly breakdown. Just: should I go outside? It took a while to actually build it, but when I did, the concept was simple. Open the app, get a YES, NO, or MAYBE, close it. Done. As I used it more, I added activity-based preferences so you can set what matters for running, hiking, swimming, or anything else. Then air quality. Then weather windows that tell you the best time to head out. Built with Kotlin Multiplatform, one codebase, native on both Android and iOS. No accounts, no tracking. Your location is used once to fetch the weather, then it's gone. Would love to hear what you think and what activities you'd use it for!
