Spectra is a minimalist weather app that renders live conditions as full-screen, generative visualizations. No icons, no charts, no clutter. Powered by Apple WeatherKit, with precise data one swipe away. ATMOSPHERIC VISUALIZATIONS Every condition becomes a distinct, full-screen animation: - CLEAR: a halftone field of dots, lit from the center - RAIN: dynamic precipitation lines - CLOUDS: a drifting noise-field atmosphere - WIND: vortex topology - SNOW: slow particle descent - THUNDER: branching lightning vectors - STORM: vertical bands of bars, flashing in unison with each strike - HEAT: rising thermal plumes NEVER THE SAME TWICE Nothing here is a looping video.

Every shipping app on the App Store has gone through the same decisions you're working through right now: which screenshot goes first, what caption sits over it, which device frame to show, what color the background should be.

The accent colour we picked up, #0484A4, is the one to reuse for badges, arrows and highlighted words if you borrow this look. Hit Use this style to open the editor with these exact colours and drop your own screenshot in.
Notice the first screenshot in particular. It's the one users see in search results and on the product page, and it's where most apps spend their best caption and tightest design. Look at the proportion of background to phone, where the text sits, what one thing the image is trying to communicate.
