What is Forecast?
Forecast is a weather app for Mac that helps users check upcoming conditions in a visual, graph-based format instead of reading a simple text list. It is designed for people who want a quick view of temperature and weather trends across the next 10 days, whether they are planning daily routines, travel, or outdoor activities. The app also offers widgets, making it easy to keep forecast information visible on the desktop without opening the full app each time. In addition to the Mac version, it is also available on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch, which can be useful for users who want the same forecast view across Apple devices. Forecast is published by Yep as free and open source software.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
Forecast is a normal weather app. Network access is expected so it can download forecast data, and widget support is a standard part of how it presents weather on Apple devices. The App Store listing says the developer does not collect data for this app, but weather features may still rely on internet-based forecast services. Keep the app if you use its forecast view or widgets, and review location-related access in macOS settings if you prefer tighter privacy controls.
Recommendation: Keep Forecast if you use it to check weather trends or rely on its widgets on your Mac. If you no longer use it, removing it is usually straightforward and should only affect your saved app settings, cached forecast data, and widget availability.
