Check Real-Time Pollen Counts Near You in the Pollen Wise App

If you’ve ever searched “pollen count near me” during allergy season, you’ve probably noticed how often the results are hours or even days out of date. Most online forecasts rely on manual counts taken once per day. That’s why Pollen Wise was created — to give you real-time pollen data that’s always up to date.

What Makes Pollen Wise Different

Pollen Wise is powered by the Pollen Sense network, a nationwide system of automated sensors that analyze air samples around the clock. Each sensor detects and classifies pollen, mold, and other airborne particles in real time, so the data you see in the app reflects what’s actually in the air right now, not yesterday’s average.

Unlike other allergy apps that estimate pollen based on weather patterns, Pollen Wise uses AI-driven microscopy to identify real biological particles — the same allergens that trigger symptoms for millions of people every spring and fall.

How to Check Pollen Counts Near You

Download the Pollen Wise app (available on iOS and Android).
Allow location access so the app can automatically show pollen data from the closest sensor station.
Open the app any time to view:
- Real-time pollen counts
- Hour-by-hour trends
- Pollen type breakdowns (trees, grasses, weeds, mold)
- Personalized allergy insights

The app updates automatically as new data comes in, so you’ll know exactly when it’s safe to head outdoors.

Why Real-Time Matters

Allergies don’t wait for daily reports. Wind shifts, temperature changes, or rain can dramatically alter pollen levels in just a few hours. Pollen Wise uses live readings from our APS400 sensors — the same high-resolution instruments trusted by allergy clinics, universities, and meteorologists across the U.S, to delivery high quality allergy data lightning fast. (Primarily in N.A.)

That means when you check Pollen Wise, you’re seeing clinical-grade data that professionals use.

A clearer, more helpful Pollen Wise home screen

We’ve been spending a lot of time reviewing feedback, reading survey responses, and looking closely at how people are using Pollen Wise. One common thread amongst the feedback and survey responses stuck out: people want the app to feel easier to understand at a glance, and more helpful in answering the question, “What should I care about right now?” That thinking shaped this latest update. This is a major refresh to the Pollen Wise home screen, and while we know there is still more to improve, this update is an important step. We’re continuing to build, refine, and learn, and your feedback is a big part of what helps us decide where to go next.

Incoming: Branches, Revisions, and Layers

Update: The data cutoff for legacy metrics data was changed from March 11 to March 23, 2026 6PM UTC. Data before that date will continue to be available for the forseeable future, however data after March 23, 2026 6PM UTC will no longer be present either in the legacy portal data viewer or via v1 APIs. Please use the V2 APIs and the Branch/Revision-powered data viewer in the portal for live incoming data

LLMs vs CNNs: Why Physical AI Starts With Data Infrastructure

When we say “AI” at Pollen Sense, most people assume we mean LLMs. We don’t. When people hear that Pollen Sense is building AI data infrastructure, the default assumption is usually large language models, chatbots, text generation, or conversational AI. That’s understandable given the moment we’re in. But it’s not what we mean when we say AI. At Pollen Sense, AI data infrastructure means Physical AI, machine learning systems that directly observe the real world, classify physical signals in real time, and convert them into structured, trustworthy data that other systems can reason on.
