Pegs Out support
Version 1.0 | Updated: 18 June 2026
Pegs Out tells you whether it is worth hanging your washing outside. Not just "will it rain", but whether, given the daylight and conditions left, this load will actually dry, or whether you are better off using the dehumidifier indoors.
Getting help
Pegs Out is made by Phil Morton, an independent developer based in the United Kingdom. If something is not working, or you have a question or a suggestion, email philip.morton@gmail.com and you will get a reply.
Frequently asked questions
Why does Pegs Out ask for my location?
To fetch the right weather forecast for where your washing line is. Your location is handled on your device by iOS, and the only thing that leaves your phone is the coordinates needed to get the forecast. There are no accounts and no tracking. The full detail is in the privacy policy.
Why is the drying estimate given in hours rather than an exact time?
Because drying depends on temperature, humidity, wind and sun, and forecasts are not perfect. The part you can trust is the relative ranking: that Tuesday is a better drying day than Thursday, or that the morning beats the afternoon. The exact number of minutes is a best estimate, not a promise, so Pegs Out is honest about that rather than pretending to a precision it does not have.
How do I change the sun, shelter or fabric settings for my line?
Open the Settings tab. The sunny or shaded and sheltered or exposed choices for your line are one-time picks you can change at any time, along with the typical wash you hang out. There is also a single control to nudge the estimates if they consistently feel too fast or too slow for your line.
Why does a day further ahead not show a precise estimate?
Weather forecasts get less certain the further out they go. Past about four days, Pegs Out deliberately shows the drying potential in general terms rather than as precise minutes, so you are not given false confidence in a number the forecast cannot support.
