The basics

What is Goworthy? ▶

Goworthy is a go/no-go outdoor weather app for iPhone. It reads the weather, sea, mountains and sky from professional forecast models and turns them into one clear verdict, Go, Caution or No-go, for however you spend time outdoors: beach, SUP, surf, kite, hike, snow, stargazing, cycling and more.

Is Goworthy available yet? ▶

Yes. Goworthy is on the App Store for iPhone (iOS 17 and later). It is free to download, with an optional tip jar and no account, ads or tracking.

Yes. Goworthy is free, with an optional tip jar if you would like to support it. There is no account, no ads and no tracking.

Which activities does Goworthy cover? ▶

How the forecast works

How does Goworthy decide Go, Caution or No-go? ▶

For each activity, Goworthy reads the forecast values that matter for it, wind and gusts, waves and tide, temperature, UV, cloud, rain, visibility, snow, the dark and the moon, and weighs them against that activity's own comfortable and safe limits. The result is one clear verdict, Go, Caution or No-go, with the best window today and the days ahead. It is guidance to help you plan, not a guarantee.

Which forecast models does Goworthy use? ▶

Nine, through Open-Meteo: ECMWF, GFS, ICON, ICON-EU, HARMONIE, UKMO, GEM and ECMWF AIFS. Or leave it on automatic and Open-Meteo's Best Match picks the highest-resolution model for your spot.

Where does the weather data come from, and how often does it update? ▶

From Open-Meteo, which draws on the world's leading forecast models, including ECMWF, GFS, ICON, UKMO and more. You can pick a model or leave it on automatic, where Open-Meteo's Best Match uses the highest-resolution model for your spot. The models refresh a few times a day, and Goworthy fetches the latest every time you open the app.

Does Goworthy work anywhere in the world? ▶

Yes. Search any place on Earth or use your current location, and Goworthy fetches its forecast from Open-Meteo, which covers the whole world. Coastal activities like surf and SUP also need marine data, which is available for most coastlines but not every inland lake.

Rain, snow and radar

Does Goworthy tell me when it will rain or snow? ▶

Yes. When rain or snow is on the way, an outlook appears on the spot: a smooth graph of the next 24 hours (or 8, your choice), with a plain-language summary of when it starts and how heavy it gets, in mm for rain and cm for snow. Press and drag along the graph to read the exact time and intensity at any point. You can also switch on independent per-place rain and snow alerts that ping you about 30 minutes before it arrives, each at the threshold you choose: any, moderate or heavy. On a dry day the outlook simply stays hidden.

How does the rain radar on the map work? ▶

Open the map and you get an animated precipitation radar. In the Netherlands and the surrounding region (Belgium, Luxembourg and part of western Germany) it is a genuine two-hour rain forecast from KNMI: it shows where the rain is heading over the next two hours in five-minute steps, so you can catch a shower before it reaches you. Everywhere else it shows roughly the last two hours of observed radar from RainViewer, animating up to now, so you can read where a system has been and where it is moving. It plays on its own when precipitation is nearby and rests on a clean map when the sky is clear.

Privacy, notifications and safety

Is my location or data tracked? ▶

No. Goworthy has no sign-up and no analytics. Your saved spots and settings stay on your device; the only thing sent out is the coordinates of the spot you are viewing, to fetch its forecast from Open-Meteo.

Which location do my notifications come from? ▶

Each place you switch alerts on for, independently. Goworthy schedules alerts for every place you enable, wherever you are, so casually opening another place to check its weather never changes them. They are scheduled up to seven days ahead and refreshed every time you open the app.

Is Goworthy a safety service? ▶

No. Goworthy is for planning and comfort, not safety of life. It is not a navigational, mountain, avalanche or marine safety service. Always check your official local forecasts and warnings before heading into the mountains, the backcountry or the water, tell someone your plan, and turn back if conditions change.
