temps For Mac

temps is a minimalist weather application that relies on the OpenWeatherMap API and offers you the option to view the current conditions, together with a 4-day forecast for any location in the world.

The temps project relies on numerous open source resources such as Electron, Menubar, or Charts.js. The utility resides in your status bar and, to be able to see the weather information, you must activate its panel with a simple mouse click.

However, to use the tool, you must navigate to the temps Settings panel, input an OpenWeatherMap API key and press return. temps will then go online and extract the weather information for a location of your choice.

To get an OpenWeatherMap API key, you must register for an account free of charge: navigate to the website using any web browser, navigate to the API keys panel associated with your OpenWeatherMap account, and either utilize the default key or generate a new one.

Within the temps Settings panel, you can also input the name of the city you want to monitor, the measurement unit that should be used for the temperature, and if you want to see the weather in the menubar.

The temps main window displays details about the current weather situation and temperature, and the forecast for the next 4 days. A mouse click will change the forecast area into a graph that allows you to see how the temperature will change in the next 24 hours.

Note that temps also comes with a hotkey associated by default: Command + Shift + W. You can use the keyboard combination to toggle the panel’s visibility but keep in mind that you cannot change it.

To sum up, temps is a small OS X app that offers you the possibility to query the OpenWeatherMap online resource to get details about the weather conditions and forecast for any location in the world.

Once everything is set, you can view the weather information in the status bar icon and activate the app’s panel with a mouse click, or with the help of the default hotkey.
