Ready to make your next day out absolutely perfect? Mikah and Rosemary share their favorite apps and strategies for planning the ultimate outdoor adventure, from weather tracking to transit navigation and everything in between.

  • Please Don't Rain - Rosemary showcases this specialized weather app designed for theme park visits and outdoor activities, featuring location-specific rain forecasts and customizable measurement units for international travelers
  • Fantastical - Mikah explains how this premium calendar app provides 10-day weather forecasts directly within your schedule, making it easy to plan events around weather conditions
  • Mercury Weather - Advanced weather app with trip planning features that automatically adjusts forecasts based on your travel destinations, plus widget support for seamless integration
  • WidgetSmith - David Smith's popular widget creation tool gets highlighted for its countdown timers and custom widgets that help keep upcoming events and trips front-of-mind on your home screen
  • Apple Maps Custom Guides - Creating and sharing location guides for group trips
  • CityMapper - Comprehensive look at the ultimate public transportation app, covering everything from platform positioning to accessibility options and multi-modal journey planning across walking, cycling, and transit
  • Pedometer++ - Rosemary shares real-world examples from her Glasgow trip (28,000+ steps!) and explains how tracking your daily activity can help you understand why you're exhausted after big days out

News

  • Capsule Medication Tracker - Rosemary announces her new collaboration with Snailed It on a medication tracking app that's more user-friendly than Apple Health, featuring customizable notifications, privacy options, and support for tracking medications for family members and pets! Capsule isn't quite ready yet, but we invite everyone to join the TestFlight in the meantime!

App Caps

  • Secure Shellfish - SSH client app for iOS that enables server access and file management, particularly useful for managing home servers like Homebridge setups with Files app integration
  • Finch - Tamagotchi-style app that gamifies self-care and habit building by letting you care for a virtual pet that grows stronger as you complete real-world goals and tasks

Hosts: Mikah Sargent and Rosemary Orchard
