YardWindow
A planner app for South Texas homeowners and contractors that identifies the best upcoming windows for outdoor work — combining rain forecasts, heat index, and wind — and auto-reschedules your to-do list around them.
San Antonio homeowners, lawn-care pros, and contractors planning outdoor work around tropical rain and heat
- Multi-day 'workability score' (0-100) per hour based on rain chance, heat index, and wind for outdoor tasks
- Project scheduler that reorders your to-do list when a forecast window opens
- Push alerts 2 hours before a usable dry window starts so you can head outside
- Contractor mode: share a 7-day 'good days' calendar with clients to set expectations for jobs
South Texas is about to flip from an 18-day dry streak back into tropical downpours, and residents juggling lawn care, outdoor projects, or contractor scheduling need a smarter way to pick their outdoor windows — not just react to sudden storms.
