Yuru Kiatsu

A gentle air-pressure app, with a cat and a shiba by your side on days when the weather gets to you.

About this app

Yuru Kiatsu is an air-pressure app for people whose bodies feel the ups and downs of barometric pressure. Instead of opening to a graph, it opens to a cat (or a little shiba) who tells you how the pressure looks today, in a word.

When the cat asks “How are you today?”, just tap “I’m okay,” “So-so,” or “Not great.” The cat answers you back.

How to use

1. Allow your location

The app shows the air pressure where you are, using your current location. When it asks, allow location access (“While Using the App”). You can change this anytime in your iPhone’s Settings.

2. Check the pressure with your companion

On “Home,” you’ll see your companion and today’s pressure status (Stable, Watch, Caution, Alert, or Rising). Tap “Upcoming pressure” to open the detailed graph.

3. Answer “How are you today?”

Pick how you feel from three buttons, and your companion replies with a few words.

4. See the pressure graph

On “Pressure,” you can see pressure, temperature, and weather from the past into the next 48 hours. Slide sideways to see each hour.

5. Keep a log

On “Log,” you can record how you felt each day (with a face), how many times you took medicine, and a short note. Each day also keeps a color band showing how the pressure moved, so you can look back at your days side by side with the pressure.

6. Friends

On “Friends,” you can choose your companion: the cat or the shiba.

7. Settings

FAQ

Do I need to sign up or log in?

No. Open the app and start right away.

Is my location used?

The app uses your approximate location (within a few kilometers) to check the pressure where you are. It is read only when the pressure is checked, and it is not saved in the app. If you do not allow location access, the app cannot show the air pressure for where you are. See the Privacy Policy for details.

Where are my answers and logs saved?

Only on your iPhone. They are never sent anywhere, including to the developer. You can delete them anytime in Settings.

Are “Caution” and “Alert” medical terms?

No. They are general guides to pressure changes, not medical standards. This app is not a medical device and does not provide diagnosis, treatment, or medical advice. If you feel unwell or your symptoms continue, please take it easy and consult a professional.

Where does the pressure data come from?

From Apple’s weather service (WeatherKit). You can open the details from “Weather data source” in Settings.
