Moonspan: Moon Phase & Lunar

About

Moonspan is a moon phase app and lunar calendar that shows you the real Moon — tonight, and any night. See a real 3D Moon, lit by the actual Sun and shaped by real libration, or switch on Cute mode for an illustrated Moon that naps at new moon and watches for shooting stars. Turn on Living Sky and Today's backdrop follows the Sun's real altitude as you scrub through the hours, over a real Alpine ridgeline. Tonight's Brief is a short, plain-English summary of tonight's Moon, written by Apple Intelligence from Moonspan's own calculations. Drag the date slider to travel through moon phases, past or future. Sky Path plots the Moon's altitude across the night sky from moonrise to moonset. Browse a full lunar calendar with every full moon and new moon, or a full year at a glance. ECLIPSES Count down to the next solar and lunar eclipse, and see whether each one is visible from where you are. MOON LOG Keep a private, on-device journal of your nights under the Moon. Every entry is auto-stamped with the phase, illumination, and sky at the moment you write it, and you can add up to four photos. "Help me start" offers a first-person opening line from Apple Intelligence, written entirely on this iPhone. If you'd like, note how the night felt and save it to Apple Health as a State of Mind entry, see last night's sleep from Health beside your entry, or bring in a photo or place from your day with Apple's Journaling Suggestions. Health and Journaling Suggestions are both off until you turn them on, and every part of Moon Log keeps working without them. LANDMARKS Tap Tycho, Copernicus, or a real Apollo landing site on the 3D Moon to see where it sits and whether it's in sunlight right now. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN AND LOCK SCREEN Moon phase widgets cover your Home Screen, Lock Screen, and Control Center. A Moon Tonight Live Activity keeps a sky arc and a countdown to moonrise or moonset on your Lock Screen.

Astronomy in Moonspan — phase, illumination, sky position, rise and set — is calculated entirely on this device from published astronomical series; sky position and rise/set are estimates for a level, unobstructed horizon, not observatory-grade predictions. Apple Health data and anything you choose via Journaling Suggestions stay on this device and are used only inside your Moon Log. Moonspan uses product analytics to understand how the app is used overall; it's never used to advertise to you, and there are no ads in the app. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
