01Films

Two short films built from real captures of the app. They are silent and loop cleanly, so they work on a page or in a feed.

Golden hour · iPhone DuoDubai, the last of the light. The Duo opens, stands, turns, props and closes on one horizon. 1080p MP4720p MP4Poster

02About Nimbus

A horizon, not a table

Most weather apps are a table with a photo behind it. Nimbus is a horizon: the light lives above the line and the forecast below it, so you take in both at a glance. Every sky is designed by hand, with its own sky, ground, glow and sun or moon.

On every Apple screen

On iPhone Duo the horizon runs straight across the fold, with your cities on one side and the forecast on the other; closed, the outer screen runs the full app. iPad puts your cities in a sidebar beside the sky, and Apple Watch makes everything bigger, because you only get a glance.

Golden hour

  • A golden hour widget with the evening’s best light, when it starts and how long it lasts.
  • On Apple Watch, a sun card in the Smart Stack with the golden hour before sunset.
  • Sunrise and sunset, live on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, golden hour included.
  • A Golden Hour app icon, alongside the Signature icon.

03Key art

The golden-hour horizon with no text and no device. The 4K version also comes as four layers on transparent backgrounds, for building your own layouts.
