Frequently asked questions
What is the best Mac weather widget?
If you want the forecast visible while you work, seam puts it in the MacBook notch where it stays glanceable on every desktop. Apple's Weather widget only shows up when you open Notification Center. Carrot Weather and Menu Weather Pro live in the menu bar, which works but takes up a slot you may want for something else.
Does seam show the forecast or just current conditions?
Both. The compact view shows current temperature and the condition icon. Expand the notch and you get the hourly forecast plus the day's high and low. No separate window or widget panel.
Where does the weather data come from?
seam pulls from Apple's WeatherKit service, the same source Apple uses for the built-in Weather app. Updates are accurate and refreshed regularly without draining battery.
Will it follow me when I travel?
Yes. With location access enabled, the forecast updates automatically as your Mac's location changes. Land somewhere new and the notch reflects the local conditions within minutes.
Can I disable the weather feature?
Yes. Every feature in seam can be toggled independently from Settings. Turn weather off and the notch reclaims that slot for whatever else you use.
