We built the alarm we wished existed.
WindUp is a tiny team obsessed with one thing: never missing the wind again.
WindUp started as a frustration. Every weather app on the planet does the same thing — show you forecasts. None of them ring you when the wind actually arrives. We were tired of refreshing screens, missing peak windows, and getting woken at 4am by a forecast that turned out wrong.
So we built WindUp: a free app that watches live wind stations 24/7 and rings you the moment your spot is on. We use iOS time-sensitive notifications and critical alerts so the alarm cuts through Do Not Disturb and Silent — because the wind doesn't wait for your phone settings.
Free, and staying that way
WindUp is fully free. No subscription, no trial trick, no ads. The app is funded by partner stations and our parent studio, Virtual Verse Studio. If we ever introduce a paid tier in the future, the live alarm itself will stay free — that's a promise.
Built by Virtual Verse Studio
WindUp is one of the products from Virtual Verse Studio, an independent team building software around things people actually do. We make tools we'd use ourselves, ship them with care, and stand behind them long after launch.
