Dawn Flight Forecast
Dawn Flight Forecast
Dawn Flight Forecast is an offline-first night-and-dawn flight companion for birders, hawk-watchers, nocturnal migration listeners, banding-station volunteers and bird photographers who want to know whether birds will actually move tonight and where to stand at first light. Instead of a general radar page or a generic weather app, the user gets one 0-100 flight score for a saved place, built from real WeatherKit inputs — wind direction and speed aloft and at the surface, pressure trend, cloud cover, precipitation, temperature and moon illumination — with every factor shown and explained in plain language. Around that score sits a complete field kit: a seven-night Swift Charts outlook with side-by-side place comparison, a 'who is on the move this week' arrival calendar covering 80+ species across five bundled region packs, a MapKit map of curated migration hotspots with habitat and timing notes plus personal pins, a guided moon-watch session that turns silhouettes crossing the moon into a birds-per-hour estimate with a confidence range, a live on-device flight-call spectrogram for comparing what you hear against bundled reference sonograms, an offline sun/moon/twilight planner for picking the darkest or best-lit window, and a transparency screen documenting every rule behind the score. All seed content ships inside the bundle and the app opens to a fully populated sample forecast with no network, no account, no cloud sync at launch and no purchases.
