Quick answer

See where the wind hits you, on top of your navigation app.

F-Droid repository metadata

Wind Bubble floats a small dial on top of your navigation app and shows where the wind hits you relative to your direction of travel: headwind, crosswind or tailwind.

The dial is locked on your heading — the top is always where you are going — and a coloured marker sits on the ring at the angle the wind comes from: red straight in your face, amber across, green pushing you along.

Features:

* Floating bubble over any app, draggable, tap to expand a short summary * Live wind, gusts and temperature from Open-Meteo (no account, no API key) * Head/tail and crosswind components, with the side it blows from * Speed in km/h, mph, m/s or knots * Adjustable refresh interval, bubble size and opacity * No tracking, no analytics, no advertising

Your position never leaves the device except as coordinates rounded to a coarse grid, sent to Open-Meteo to fetch the local wind.

What’s new

- Reproducible build: the F-Droid APK is now the one signed by the developer, so you can switch between F-Droid, IzzyOnDroid and GitHub without reinstalling

How to install

  1. Download the APK from the button at the top of this page.
  2. Allow “Install unknown apps” for your browser or file manager only, not for every app.
  3. Open the downloaded file and confirm the installation.
  4. If installation fails with “App not installed,” remove an earlier build of the same app first. A signature conflict is the usual cause.
