Most apps give you one AQI number for your whole city. Paku shows you live readings from thousands of PurpleAir and AirGradient sensors, so you know when it’s safe to open the windows, go for a run, or send the kids outside. → A map of real, live sensors Every public PurpleAir and AirGradient sensor on a fast, beautiful map, indoors and out, with AQI, temperature, humidity, and how they’re trending. Official AirNow government stations are on the map too, and a Data Sources screen lets you choose which networks you see. Smart Select picks the most reliable sensor near you, not just the closest one. → Widgets for every screen Put the nearest sensor, a favorite spot, or your own sensor on your Home Screen, Lock Screen, Apple Watch, or Mac desktop. Glance, then get on with your day. → Alerts that beat the smoke Set a threshold on any sensor and Paku will notify you the moment it’s crossed, then again when the air clears. Nearby alerts can even follow you, watching the closest sensor as you move, entirely on your device. If you live with wildfire smoke or winter inversions, this feature is for you. → Live Activities Keep the AQI and its trend in the Dynamic Island or on your Lock Screen while smoke moves through. → Your own sensors Own a PurpleAir sensor? Add your private sensors and use them everywhere: on the map, in widgets, and with alerts. → Siri, Spotlight, and Shortcuts Ask Siri for the air quality nearby, check it from Spotlight, or use the AQI in automations, like turning on the air purifier when the number starts climbing. → On every device, in sync iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac, with a live reading in your menu bar. Favorites and settings sync over iCloud. → Private by design Your location never leaves your device. No account, no tracking, no data collection. A few things reviewers have said: “Does one job, does it very well, and keeps getting better... I wish all software was like this.” “Seriously impressed by this app. It’s the perfect companion to my PurpleAir outdoor sensor.” “Ten stars.” Paku is made by one person, not a company. No growth team, no engagement tricks, just an app I use every day and keep making better. Alerts, Live Activities, and private sensors are part of Paku Pro, a small subscription or one-time lifetime unlock that keeps everything running. The map, the widgets, and the rest are free. ## Paku Screenshots - [Screenshot 1](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/67/c2/36/67c236d8-2942-ad73-59a2-700d652971ed/01-nyc-sensor.png/1320x2868.png) - [Screenshot 2](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/58/b2/a4/58b2a464-7b39-134d-65cc-d6958cde8710/02-lock-widgets.png/1320x2868.png) - [Screenshot 3](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/9e/1b/d3/9e1bd3ab-f8d1-1f84-5eff-cf8cfe5cb522/03-heatmap.png/1320x2868.png) - [Screenshot 4](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/7c/58/2c/7c582ca4-fbb9-8b8a-1d8e-7b8f426b0592/04-home-widgets.png/1320x2868.png) - [Screenshot 5](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/c8/2b/a7/c82ba779-3de8-9cb2-b49c-2e978bc8cb60/05-bay-temperature.png/1320x2868.png) - [Screenshot 6](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/98/96/aa/9896aa0d-d693-de97-5e0d-5ef0d26d3a43/06-alerts-settings.png/1320x2868.png) - [Screenshot 7](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/9b/b6/f4/9bb6f477-cb4e-29de-4945-925a69d7fef8/07-sf-home.png/1320x2868.png) - [Screenshot 8](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/ff/62/83/ff628330-ba2a-b3db-d920-958b6e77bda4/08-reviews.png/1320x2868.png) ## Paku Rating Breakdown in United States - 5 stars: 9,123 (83%) - 4 stars: 1,255 (11%) - 3 stars: 272 (2%) - 2 stars: 109 (1%) - 1 stars: 212 (2%) ## Paku Reviews in United States ### ***** "Super" After reboot, I have managed to add widgets. Thanks! -- alexeypegov, 2024-11-29 ### ***-- "It’s ok" There isn’t a way to see smoke plumes. -- Shogunroman86, 2024-11-11 ### ***** "Love Paku! Why 1 star?" Update: I haven’t deleted and reinstalled the app yet, but after a few restarts, it seems to be working again. If it happens again, will try to reinstall the app. Back to 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I love this app, but… now none of the widgets work on my iPhone 16 Pro Max! I use them mainly on my lock screen. They use to work, but not anymore. Perhaps a problem with iOS 18.1? I wanted to contact the dev directly, but wasn’t going to join Mastodon solely for that purpose! So I am unable to contact them about this problem. I just signed up for Paku pro to see if any of the other pro widgets would work. Nope!! I’ll be canceling my subscription unless I get word that the dev got my message and will try to fix this issue. Thanks 🙏 -- JungleSports, 2024-11-07 ### ***** "Paku app is great. I wish PurpleAir and the U.S. Govt. would step up" Paku is doing the best that it can with very limited distribution of PurpleAir sensors… If the U.S. Govt./Weather Apps/Etc… are going to just use PurpleAir data, maybe they could chip in?? Think of what we could do if these sensors were everywhere? Paku is in place and has the best interface to take it to the next level. -- Tony the Bookie, 2024-10-27 ### ****- "Air Quality Monitoring" This is a great idea and a wonderful app It’s just sad that it can’t tell you exactly what’s in the air that’s making it high Especially when there is a coal fired power plant 5miles due north of you and a chemical plant 5 miles northeast of you -- moonblep, 2024-10-21 ### ***** "Critical AQI widgets and pushes for living with smoke" Paku is a must-have for anyone dealing with irregular AQI issues (wildfire smoke): setting up AQI push alerts lets me know when to open and close my windows, and Lock Screen widgets on my phone and watch provide a great at-a-glance check-in throughout the day as I make plans for outdoor exercise or evening plans. I send this app to all my friends and neighbors year round and they’re always delighted by its quality, performance, and usability. -- cbowns, 2024-10-13 ### ***** "Shows temperature and humidity" I didn’t even know the purple air sensor showed temperature and humidity until I got Paku. It’s so easy to check. This app does its job quietly and reliably. -- So farms, 2024-08-17 ### ****- "Usually, it’s great" I love purple air, especially doing wildfire season. And I look looking at the air and the rest of the world also. But it doesn’t seem to be working right today. I am 23 miles away from the forest fire and it has been quite smoky here. But the dot near my tiny town shows green and that it is at 20. But reading the text it says air quality is 158. That is a big difference. I live in Northern California and I looked up to Oregon where I know there are a lot of fires, and showing green today also. So please fix this. Oherwise I would give it five stars. -- Salmon river woman, 2024-08-11 ### ***** "We use this constantly" Thanks so much for the excellent app, our family uses it all the time. The best air quality visualization I have found. -- rwqg7777, 2024-08-09 ### ***** "Wonderful app!" High-quality, pretty design, and artsy, homegrown feel. I love it! The alerts feature doesn’t seem to always work completely without glitches, but love that you added it and sure it will keep getting better! Thank you for this wonderful app! -- OFRasdu, 2024-08-01 [View all Paku reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Paku In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | Lifetime Unlock | $69.99 | | Pizza-sized tip | $24.99 | | Coffee-sized tip | $3.99 | | Burrito-sized tip | $8.99 | | Annual Subscription | $13.99 | | Monthly Subscription | $1.99 | ## Paku Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Grossing | South Korea | Weather | #41 | | Top Grossing | Malaysia | Weather | #49 | | Top Grossing | Indonesia | Weather | #62 | | Top Grossing | Greece | Weather | #64 | | Top Free | Malaysia | Weather | #66 | | Top Free | Pakistan | Weather | #81 | | Top Free | Singapore | Weather | #99 | | Top Free | Ukraine | Weather | #177 | | Top Free | Indonesia | Weather | #181 | | Top Free | Portugal | Weather | #186 | ## Paku Discovered Keywords -
