What you get

The whole sky, planned.

Everything you need to catch the light and find the night sky — overlaid on the real world.

Live AR sky

Point your phone and see the Sun, Moon, and Milky Way locked onto the real sky at their true positions.

Golden & blue hour

A light timeline shows the day's twilight, blue, and golden hours, with a countdown to the next.

Sun & Moon paths

See the day's arc across the sky with hour marks and exact rise and set points.

Your real horizon

The actual terrain skyline for your spot, drawn from elevation data — so you see where the Sun sets behind a ridge.

Accurate Moon phase

The Moon shows its true phase and real size — with a one-tap switch between true and easy-to-see.

True north & on-device

Aligned to true north, and all the astronomy is computed on your device — fast, private, and offline.

Plan the light

Catch the good light,
every time.

Gloaming maps the whole day's light — night, twilight, blue hour, golden hour — onto one timeline. Scrub forward and the marker glides through it, telling you exactly how long until the next phase.

Golden & blue hour start and end times for today.
Sunrise and sunset, with the Sun's arc colored by light phase.

Behind the ridge

See where it sets
behind the mountains.

Gloaming draws your real skyline from elevation data, so you can tell — even in daylight, even from home — exactly where the Sun or Moon will drop behind a ridge. Line up the shot before you ever leave.
