WeatherBuddy is a fully animated weather app powered by Rive’s real-time animation engine.
Your personal weather companion reacts to every forecast — clear skies, rain, snow, or heatwave — with unique animations and personality.
Choose your buddy, customize their look, and watch them adapt to the time of day with smooth day & night transitions.
Every weather scene is fully animated and comes to life the moment you open the app.
Features:
• Animated weather scenes for sun, rain, snow, and heat
• A reactive character that changes with the weather
• Day & night mode
• Avatar customization (shape and accessories)
• Smooth, handcrafted animations
• Powered entirely by Rive
WeatherBuddy was created as part of the “Rive Masterclass for Designers,”
a program focused on real-time animation and interactive design in Rive.
Experience a weather app that feels alive.
