Air Today app analytics for October 17

Air Today turns air quality into something you can feel. Instead of burying you in numbers, it paints the sky — the entire screen shifts from clear blue to hazy amber to deep red, so you know the moment you open the app whether it's a good day to be outside. The air quality index is there if you want it. But the real answer is the verdict at the top of the screen: "Great day to be outside" or "Sensitive groups should limit time outdoors." Plain language, no interpretation required. KNOW WHAT YOU CAN DO TODAY Air Today gives you per-activity guidance for the things that actually matter: • Running and cycling — how hard can you push? • Walking and outdoor dining — is it pleasant out there? • Playground time with kids — are the little ones safe? Each recommendation is time-aware. Morning air is often different from afternoon air, and Air Today accounts for that. PERSONAL TO YOU Tell Air Today three quick things during onboarding — asthma or respiratory condition, ozone sensitivity, kids in the household — and recommendations adapt. Verdict copy switches to second-person when it matters. SEE WHAT'S COMING A 9-day air quality forecast helps you plan ahead. Going for a long run Saturday? Check Thursday. Planning a party in the park? You'll know days in advance. ON YOUR WRIST The Apple Watch app gives you a glanceable verdict + AQI before you head out. Complications for circular, corner, inline, and rectangular faces.
