Per the Github repository, Breezy Weather is a "feature-rich free and open source Material 3 Expressive weather app with well-though-out visualizations, supporting forecast, observations, nowcasting, air quality, pollen, alerts, from more than 50 weather sources." The application requires internet connectivity but locations can be saved without giving active location permissions to the application. The application allows highly customizable widgets and even a persistent notification that can be tailored to provide hourly or daily forecasts. The application also supports Gadgetbridge integration. This is a privacy respecting application.
The application can be used in place of Pixel Weather, Accuweather, and others which some users may be turned away from due to privacy concerns.[1]
The developers are aware of and has suggested potential workarounds for the impending Play Store verification system (due Sept 2026).[2]
