SHORT (42 words)
-----------------

Vesper Sky is an editorial iOS weather app. Instead of a grid of numbers,
it writes a sentence about the sky — with a proprietary ML sunset
forecast that grades itself, Dynamic Island countdowns, and wardrobe
briefs that cite real fibers.


MEDIUM (108 words)
-------------------

Vesper Sky is an editorial iOS weather app built on the idea that the best
forecast is a sentence, not a grid. It opens with a short brief written in
an authorial voice, then backs it with the platform work iOS users expect:
Dynamic Island countdown through golden hour, Live Activities, seven Home
Screen widget kinds across every size, and all six Apple Watch complication
surfaces. A proprietary ML sunset forecast grades itself against what you
actually saw. Wardrobe briefs cite real fibers — merino, linen, bouclé —
from biometric-accurate feels-like data. Nothing is faked. Everything
routes through the right system APIs.


LONG (~310 words)
------------------

Vesper Sky is an editorial iOS weather app that replaces the standard grid
of numbers with a sentence about the sky — the kind a thoughtful friend
would write after stepping outside.

It is the work of iSimplifyMe, an independent studio in Chicago with over
15 years of design and product work behind it. The thesis is simple:
weather writing is the product; weather data is the raw material.

The app is organized around five surfaces.

The Today tab leads with the editorial brief — two to three sentences
written to be read in under ten seconds.

The Sky tab overlays live radar on a custom dark map with a plain-language
editorial card explaining what the atmosphere is doing.

The What to Wear surface presents three silhouettes with biometric-accurate
outfit recommendations, each fabric chosen for the day's actual feels-like,
humidity, and wind.

The Sunset Verify feature predicts sunset quality on a 0–100 scale from
live atmospheric data, then lets users rate the sky they actually saw —
building a personal accuracy track record over time.

The Journal stores every rated sunset, every outfit, and every brief that
meant something, saved locally and never uploaded.

The platform work is unusually deep for an indie launch. Seven widget kinds
ship across every Home Screen size, with configurable widgets through App
Intents. Live Activities and Dynamic Island support countdown through
golden hour on supported devices. All six Apple Watch complication surfaces
are implemented with native SwiftUI. WeatherKit powers the underlying
forecast data, routed through the right system APIs throughout.

Vesper Sky is a paid iOS app with a 3-day free trial on monthly ($2.99)
and annual ($24.99) subscriptions, or a one-time $59.99 lifetime purchase.
It launches on the iOS App Store on May 12, 2026.
