WindUp is a live wind alarm that wakes you the moment your spot fires.
It watches your spot in real time and rings the instant the wind is right — even when your phone is on Do Not Disturb or Silent.
What is a live wind alarm?
A live wind alarm is an alert that watches real-time data from a wind station near your spot and rings the moment your conditions are met — speed, direction and gusts all in range. It's the opposite of a forecast: instead of guessing what the wind might do later, it tells you what the wind is doing right now.
WindUp is a free live wind alarm built for kitesurfers, sailors, windsurfers, wing foilers, paragliders and drone pilots. Because it uses iOS time-sensitive and critical alerts, the alarm still reaches you when your phone is on Do Not Disturb or Silent — so you never miss a session.
The unique edge
Even when your phone says no, the wind doesn't wait.
Most alarm apps are silenced by Do Not Disturb. WindUp uses iOS time-sensitive notifications and critical alerts so the alarm rings through Silent and DnD. You stay focused. You still don't miss the wind.
Cuts through Silent & Do Not Disturb
Time-sensitive iOS alerts that breach focus modes you set yourself.
Watches live, not forecasts
10,000+ stations. The number you see is real now, not an algorithm's guess for later.
Quiet until your moment
One alert when your wind hits. No spam, no useless pings, no checking your phone.
The wind alarm built for people who actually go outside.
Real stations. Real-time. Real alarms.

What makes WindUp different from regular weather apps?
Weather apps give forecasts — WindUp gives a live alarm. We watch real wind stations and ring you the second your conditions hit, even when your phone is on Do Not Disturb or Silent.
Does WindUp really ring when my iPhone is on silent?
Yes. We use iOS time-sensitive notifications and critical alerts so the alarm cuts through silent mode and Do Not Disturb. The wind doesn't wait for your phone settings.
Is WindUp really free?
Yes. WindUp is 100% free — no subscription, no trial gimmick. The app is funded by partner stations and our parent studio, Virtual Verse.
How accurate is the wind data?
We pull from a network of 10,000+ professional and personal weather stations worldwide. For most spots that's far more accurate than regional forecast cells, because it's real-time and hyper-local.
What activities is WindUp made for?
Anything wind-driven: kitesurfing, windsurfing, wing foiling, sailing, paragliding, drones, RC planes — and outdoor enthusiasts who care about gusts on a hike or campsite.
Don't miss the wind. It's free.
Download WindUp, set one alarm at your spot, and let it ring you out the door.
