You're so Vane.
I bet you think this app is about you?
Know exactly how it will feel.
A weather vane reads which way the wind blows. Vane reads where you actually are — your microsite, your body, your crew, your gear — and grounds every answer to your specific reality as it learns your spots. Not the regional average. What you'll feel.
Travel weather, kid + crew tracking, virtual closet, and asset intelligence — in one app.
iOS coming soon. Get an email the moment Vane hits the App Store.
What you get
Six pillars. One app.
All built around you.
Find My Kids · Find My Crew
Geofence the park, the campsite, the Disneyland gate. Send a Vane link to a kid's phone — they tap Share and you see their position. Or drop a SmartThings tag in a backpack or on a pet collar. Either path pings you the second they wander past the fence you drew. Radius 100 m to 1 km, 30-min dedup so you aren't spammed.
Virtual Closet + Gear AI
Snap your wardrobe, your camera bag, your camping kit, your laptop pile. Vane builds a private library of what you actually own — clothes, gear, electronics, layers — then recommends outfits and packing lists from your stuff, not a generic catalog.
Track + Protect Your Stuff
Register the trailer, the boat, the e-bike, the high-end skis, the camera rig, the laptop, the rifle. Tag it, anchor it to its spot, and Vane watches for movement. The second something drifts, you get the alert AND Vane locks down location history, conditions, serial #, and policy data into a one-tap incident report for police + insurance.
AI Trip Briefs
Personalized packing for every destination. Every item explained, not just listed — built around your body, your crew, your virtual closet, and the actual conditions you'll meet.
Event Day Intel
Concerts, games, weddings, outdoor events. Venue weather + what to wear + when to leave + parking + bag policy. Show up ready instead of guessing what the venue is going to be like.
Crew Mode
Traveling with kids, elderly, pets, or someone with mobility needs? Vane factors everyone's profile into the plan.
How it works
Three steps to never being unprepared again.
Tell Vane about you
One profile. Hot or cold? Allergies? Kids in tow? UV-sensitive? Vane reads every condition through your specific lens.
Open the app
Today's home brief, a trip plan, or an event-day forecast. Vane's proprietary AI grounds the weather to your microsite, your profile, and your gear — and gives you one specific recommendation, not a dump of numbers.
Go prepared
Packing list, daily outfit, safety alerts, asset logs. Built for exactly your situation — not the median weather-app user.
Zero data entry
Your trips assemble themselves.
Connect Gmail and Google Calendar — read-only — and your flight confirmations become Vane trip events on their own. Vane looks only at booking-style messages from the past year, never writes, never deletes, never sends mail as you. Disconnect anytime; a Rescan button picks up anything new.
From there the follow-through comes to you: on the day, Vane pushes the conditions waiting at your destination and when to leave to make it. Ahead of a same-day departure it sweeps your tagged luggage and pushes a confirmed-or-missing rundown before you walk out the door. Want the full read — what to wear, venue notes, the whole brief — one tap emails it to you.
Inbox import is part of Gold. Google connect is opening account-by-account during beta. Next up on the same event cards: a Google Wallet pass carrying your brief to the lock screen.

Far from anywhere
When you go off the grid,
Vane goes with you.
Built for the people whose plans don't end at the nearest cell tower.
Off the grid? Vane stays with you.
Hand Vane your Garmin inReach MapShare key. The second cell service drops, your last known location keeps relaying via satellite through inReach — your tether contact sees where you are even if you can't reply. Link a Starlink dish profile too, so Vane knows you've got backup connectivity out there. Send an inReach 'OK Check-In' and Vane auto-resets the tether. Built for backcountry hunts, blue-water sailing, alpine traverses, and remote work crews.
Stolen? Vane already has the proof.
Anchor the trailer at the campsite. Anchor the e-bike at the rack. Anchor the gun safe in the cabin. The second a tagged item drifts more than about 165 ft from where you left it — and you aren't within about 1,000 ft — Vane fires the alert and starts compiling: GPS history, conditions, serial #, brand, purchase value, insurance policy. Generate a police-ready + insurance-ready incident PDF in two taps.
No signal coming? Cache the trip first.
Tap Save for offline on a city, a trip, a campsite, a route. Vane bundles five days of forecast plus camping, hiking, fishing, hunting, marine, beach, and aviation intel into your device. Five-day TTL so it's still good when you arrive. Service worker returns the cached brief instantly — no spinner, no Wi-Fi, no "loading…".
Flash flood forming? Vane checks your last fix.
Every half hour, Vane pulls the active NWS flash-flood warnings and emergencies and lays each mapped warning area over your last known position — the spot your tether check-in or inReach last reported. If you're inside one, push and email fire immediately. Built for monsoon country, slot canyons, and low-water crossings, where the water arrives before the sky does.
Know where the road goes quiet.
Before a road trip, Vane scores your actual route — how far each stretch sits from a city, where it runs through park backcountry — and flags where signal likely dies, so you cache the trip and tell your people before you leave pavement. Pick and lock the exact route you'll drive, and the scan stays on your device for zero-bar reading. Remoteness-based heads-up scoring, not a carrier coverage map — treat flagged stretches as "assume nothing gets out."

The Grounding Engine
The more you use Vane,
the more accurate it gets — for you.
Every other weather app gives the same forecast to every phone in your zip code. Vane is different. Our proprietary AI learns from what we served you and what actually happened — your check-ins, your “felt warmer than that,” your gear's logged conditions — and grounds the next forecast to your exact microsite.
The marina is warmer than the airport sensor. Your backyard catches more wind than the block over. The east-facing trailhead bakes thirty minutes earlier than the forecast says. Vane figures it out — and gets sharper every trip you take.
Built for the hyper-local truth, not the regional average.

For the hunter, angler, camper, or off-grid explorer in your life, a year of Diamond ($29.99) means satellite SOS, last-known-location relay, and weather-risk alerts (Roll Call, included with Diamond) — so someone always knows where he is and when he's due back. The peace of mind is really yours.

For outfitters + guides
Take clients out? The record has your back.
File every outing you run: snapshot the conditions at the moment you made the call, then log group size, client roster, and your own risk-acknowledgment note. Records are insert-only by design — the app has no edit or delete path for a filed record — so what you knew and when you called it stays exactly as you wrote it.
A documentation aid for your operation — your insurer or counsel decides how it's used. Clients ride free under your seat.

Claim-ready weather documentation
for insurance claims.
Most weather apps tell you what happened. Vane proves it. Register your gear, car, boat, home, or firearms — Vane logs the conditions they actually experienced. Location-stamped. Timestamped. Tied to a real report ID.
Hail damage. Hurricane. Flood. Humidity that ruined your safe. Generate a printable, claim-ready PDF in two taps. Hand it to your insurance carrier with confidence.
Forensic Weather Reports are a Vane Diamond feature.
Reports are documentation aids built from third-party weather data (document ID, timestamp, coordinates, and source attribution). Vane does not guarantee claim acceptance or legal admissibility — your insurer or counsel determines how the documentation is used.

FAQ
Honest answers.
Is Vane just another weather app?
No. Most weather apps tell you a number. Vane uses weather as input and gives you a recommendation — what to wear, what to bring, what to protect, what to log. The weather is the means; the answer is the product.
Do I need to sign up to use it?
No. Free tier works without an account — real-time weather + AI fit check. Sign up only when you want to save trips, scan your wardrobe, register gear, or use Roll Call safety features.
What does 'claim-ready weather documentation' actually mean?
Each Forensic Weather Report has a real document ID (VWL-XXXX), timestamp, location coordinates, and source attribution to specific third-party weather data providers — structured documentation you can hand to an insurer, not a screenshot of yesterday's forecast. It's a documentation aid; Vane doesn't guarantee claim acceptance or legal admissibility.
Why 'You're so Vane'?
A wink at the Carly Simon song. (And, in fairness, the app does watch you.) The brand voice that landed first; the functionality came after.
Will Roll Call features work without buying extra hardware?
Some Roll Call features (theft anchor, geofence) integrate with existing SmartThings tags you may already own. The app tells you which features need what when you set them up — and which work standalone with your phone's GPS.
What about my data?
Your health profile, crew, and gear info stay on our servers. We don't sell data or run ad networks. AI processing partners (Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini) see only the trip-relevant fields needed for that recommendation.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. All paid tiers (Gold, Diamond, Guide) are annual and no-commitment — email hello@vaneapp.app from your account address and renewal is turned off; your access continues through the paid year.
When does iOS launch?
iOS comes after the Android launch. Until then Vane runs fully in Safari — join the waitlist on this page and we'll email you when iOS is ready.
Be ready for every condition.
Know where your kids are. Know what to pack. Know where your stuff sits. Vane runs the watch-your-back layer of your travel and daily life.
Use Vane free on the web →Yes, like the song. Carly's been singing about us for fifty years; we just finally built the app.
