Features

Checking the weather shouldn't be the end of it.

Every day you open the app, that sky stays behind in a calendar — in a shape it will never take again.

The sky becomes an orb

The pattern comes from that day's weather, temperature and humidity, so no two orbs are ever alike. They gather in a calendar, month by month, until a year of your own sky is sitting there.

It changes with the season and the hour

Spring wears a haze, summer builds towering clouds, autumn lines up mackerel skies, winter turns the light crisp and clear. Dawn, dusk and night each look different — and a night orb holds the moon, at the phase it really was.

It marks the turns of the calendar

Soradama follows the 24 traditional Japanese seasons. On the day autumn begins, on the day white dew gathers, the orb takes a form reserved for that day — and the app quietly tells you why.

And it works as a weather app

Hourly and 10-day forecasts, an umbrella index and a laundry index judged on the hours ahead, widgets for the Home and Lock Screens, and an Apple Watch app. The rain radar reaches 60 minutes ahead — it uses data from the Japan Meteorological Agency, so it covers Japan and nearby areas only.
