WindUp
Free wind alarm that breaks through iPhone Do Not Disturb the moment your spot's conditions hit.
WindUp watches a live wind station near your spot and rings the instant wind speed, direction and gusts all match what you set — not a forecast for later, but what's happening right now. Because it uses iOS time-sensitive and critical alerts, the alarm reaches you even through Silent or Do Not Disturb. It covers 10,000+ stations worldwide and is entirely free, with no subscription mentioned anywhere on the page.
What holds up
- +Entirely free, with no subscription tier mentioned anywhere on the page.
- +Rings through Silent and Do Not Disturb via iOS critical alerts — texts and email still wait.
- +Covers 10,000+ live wind stations worldwide, not a forecast model's guess.
Mind the limits
- −Breaking through Do Not Disturb relies on iOS critical alerts — Android's equivalent isn't described.
- −Only useful if a live station already covers your spot; coverage isn't guaranteed everywhere.
