More days outdoors doing what you love, with people you care about.
Days Like These watches the forecast for the things you love doing outside and tells you three to seven days ahead when a good day is coming. Time to clear the calendar, and time to bring your people.
The film
Fishing, painting, gardening, hiking, mountain biking: whatever you love doing outside, this is how a good day finds you, and how your people end up there with you.
How it works
Two minutes of setup, then it does the remembering for you.
Setup, in your words
Tell me when Princess Bay has a warm, dry beach day for the kids.
A parent, planning a family day out
No units to convert and no thresholds to set. That sentence is the whole setup.
And it learns from you
Tell it a day was a good one and it edges closer to your version of a good day, not a setting everyone shares.
Pick two or three things that make a good day for you: fishing, a hike, a ride, an afternoon in the garden or painting outside. Or name your own.
We keep an eye on the next week at your spots and check it against what you actually care about. Waves, wind, sun, rain, temperature and cloud, in the words you’d use yourself.
Three to seven days out, you hear that a good one is lining up. That’s early enough to ask for the day off, block it out and sort the rest.
Share the day with the people you’d want there. They don’t need the app to say “I’m in”: the invite opens in a browser.
Save this day
Stuck in a meeting, looking out the window at a perfect afternoon? One tap on Save this day and we’ll tell you when a day like it is coming. No form, no settings, nothing to type.
Later, when it suits you, we’ll ask what you’d do on a day like that, where, and who with. Skip it and it’s just “anything outside, near here”.

A day you’d love more of?
Loving today? Tap Save this day and we’ll tell you when a day like it is coming.
Set the conditions for your perfect day, in words you’d use yourself: waves, wind, sun, rain and more.
Start from a fishing day, a garden day, a hike and more, then tweak it if you like.
Your kind of day
The best day of your week might be fishing at first light, an afternoon painting in the garden, or a hike with the kids. Adventurous or completely ordinary, it all counts, whatever your age, interests or fitness. And you can name your own.
The whole point is the notice. A good day you find out about on the day is a good day you’ve already spent at work.
You don’t need to be across the forecast, or the swell height, or the wind direction. You just need to know it’s on, and who to ask.
Good days come in every size, from a summit to a garden bed. We won’t nudge you about the days that don’t happen, and we won’t oversell the weather.
Honest confidence
A forecast days out is a bet, and we’d rather show you the odds than pretend there aren’t any. Every call comes with the same three words, in the same order, every time.
Something’s in the mix. Too far out to plan your week around, but we’ll keep an eye on it and tell you if it firms up.
Good enough that it’s worth protecting the time. We’d start mentioning it to people.
As sure as we get, days ahead. Take the leave, book the ferry, tell the crew it’s happening.
And when we get it wrong
We called Saturday wrong: the wind came up by ten. We’d rather say that plainly than explain it away, and the miss is what our next call learns from. Next good window looks like Tuesday.
Our story
Our logo is the view from home: the Wairarapa hills at first light, seen across the water from Wellington. The ridgelines are based on the real lines, but designed to symbolise memories that last through time. Read them looking back, and each ridge is a good day you’ve had; read them looking forward, and each one is a day still to come.
Days Like These is a social enterprise. We exist to help you see the good days coming, bring your people, and actually go.
Questions
We compare several forecast models for each of your spots, rather than trusting just one. When they agree, you’ll hear it in the confidence word.
