What it does
This app reports the current air-quality index alongside key pollutants, colour-coded from good to hazardous. Search for a city, choose the European (EAQI) or US (AQI) scale, and pick a light or dark theme; the readings refresh on their own throughout the day. It suits building lobbies, gyms, clinics and any workplace where the air outside matters.
Every app in the catalogue is part of the plan. There is no app store, no per-app charge and nothing held back for a higher tier.
How to show air quality on a TV screen
Pick a place and the screen shows its current air-quality index on a colour-coded gauge, with the main pollutants beneath. Useful in schools, clinics, gyms and offices, where people want to know what the air is like outside.

Good to know
Updates on its own
The app checks for new air-quality data every 15 minutes; there is nothing to maintain.
Keeps its last reading offline
If the network drops, the screen keeps showing the last values it received and catches up when the connection returns.
Pair it with Weather
Put Air quality and Weather in the same playlist, or side by side with the Zones app, so people see the forecast and the air together.
Questions about this app
No. It shows outdoor air quality for the place you pick, from Open-Meteo's air-quality data. It does not connect to indoor sensors.
Fine particles (PM2.5), coarse particles (PM10), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) and ozone (O₃), in µg/m³, beneath the index — each one whenever the data includes it.
One place per app. Add the app once for each place, or split one screen between them with the Zones app.
