If you want Heweather or ColorfulClouds extras, you can add your own credentials in the app's lab, and they stay on-device only.

If you want Heweather or ColorfulClouds extras, you can add your own credentials in the app's lab, and they stay on-device only.Are the official weather warnings and forecasts always complete?The public build ships without Heweather credentials, so official warnings and life indices depend on account permissions unless you add your own key; Open-Meteo's precipitation nowcast is only 15-minute resolution rather than minute-by-minute, and duplicate warnings from different sources can still show up since they're deduped only by title.

Larger sizes add hourly trends and life-index info, and all of them use a layered semi-transparent glass shell so your wallpaper shows through.

Auto mode defaults to Xiaomi for current conditions and only fills gaps from Open-Meteo.
