About Nowpane

One screen for what matters right now. It's free and shows the weather, sunrise and sunset, what's open, the next local events and road closures. It changes through the day (morning, afternoon, evening, tomorrow) using your device's clock. No account, no ads, and it works offline with the last data it saw, labelled with its age.

Weather and sun times work anywhere in the US. Opening hours, events and closures are currently covered in Traverse City, Grand Rapids and Lansing, Michigan (road closures across Michigan). Elsewhere those cards say “not yet covered here”.
