What it does

Astronomy, not astrology

Phase, illumination, terminator shape, moon age, distance, and azimuth — the numbers a photographer or stargazer actually plans around.

Offline by construction

The core phase, position, rise, and set calculations run on the device, so the astronomy remains available without a signal.

Plan the shot

A seven-day forecast ranks nights by illumination, moonrise timing, and phase, alongside golden hour and blue hour times.

Your own calendar too

An optional Hijri, Chinese, Hebrew, Persian, or Buddhist calendar can sit alongside the Gregorian dates.

Guides
