Totality crosses Greenland, Iceland, and Spain on August 12, 2026. Find your spot, rehearse the day, and let the countdown guide you through every second. All free.
On August 12, 2026, a total solar eclipse will cross Greenland, Iceland, and Spain, and for a few quiet minutes the sky will go dark. The Eclipse App is your companion for the whole day: an interactive map of the path of totality, a rehearsal so you know what's coming, and a live countdown that guides you second by second, from first contact to the moment your eclipse glasses come off.
▶ YOUR ECLIPSE
See exactly what the eclipse looks like from your location: whether you'll see totality, how long it lasts, how much of the Sun is covered, and when every phase begins and ends, down to the second. Outside the path? You'll see your partial eclipse times too. Preview your sky in advance, and turn on Day-of Alerts so nothing sneaks up on you.
▶ THE MAP
Explore the path of totality from Greenland across Iceland to Spain. Tap any spot on the eclipse map to see its timing, how long totality lasts there, and how far it sits from the path. Comparing two towns? The map makes the tradeoffs easy to see.
▶ SUN POSITION
In 2026, the eclipse hangs low in the sky in many places. See exactly how high the Sun will sit from your spot, and get a heads-up when hills, buildings, or trees might block the view. You can check historical cloud trends while you're at it.
▶ REHEARSAL
Practice eclipse day before it arrives, at your own pace. Walk through every phase from first contact to last, learn when glasses go on and come off, and try the camera and recorder ahead of time, so the real day feels familiar instead of frantic.
▶ LIVE COUNTDOWN
When the day comes, the eclipse countdown guides you in real time: what's happening, what to watch for, and exactly when it's safe to take your glasses off. An optional spoken audio guide keeps you hands-free. The totality countdown also lives on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so a glance is all it takes.
▶ SNAP AND RECORD
Take a photo without leaving the countdown. Scene mode captures the strange light around you, and Sun mode helps you aim and expose for the Sun itself. Or tap Record, put your phone down, and capture the sound of totality: the hush, the gasps, the cheers.
▶ RELIVE
Afterward, press play. Your photos and recordings play back on the eclipse's own timeline, just as they happened. It's the closest thing to standing back under the Moon's shadow.
▶ GOOD TO KNOW
- Completely free. No account, no subscriptions.
- Available in nine languages: English, Spanish, Catalan, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Icelandic, and Japanese.
- Useful anywhere in Europe and beyond: even far from totality, you can see how much of the Sun will be covered where you are.
A note on safety: outside of totality, only look at the Sun through certified eclipse glasses or solar filters. The app tells you when, and proper glasses do the protecting.
A total solar eclipse is brief, and it doesn't wait. We built this app so you can spend those minutes looking up.

This is a fantastic resource for our community and all the visitors planning to come to Houlton for the 2024 total solar eclipse. With customized information like star parks, potential parking AND a complete event listing where I can save the events I’m interested in attending to my Home Screen this is my go to app for the festival weekend. Not only is all that information key to getting the most out of my experience, let’s talking about the eclipse timer! GPS enabled so it will notify me down to the second based on my real location when it’s safe to take off my glasses and when to put them back on. Even if the cell phone towers go down because of too many visitors I can depend on the countdown to be accurate because it’s based on my GPS location!
Love this app for eclipse info!

This is a great app for lots of eclipse info. Easy to locate towns with a quick view of totality duration from the map list. If you expand further there’s so much info included. Easy to add viewing locations to then determine your prime spot. In addition, the customer service was fantastic. Within a few minutes of asking to add some additional locations it was done. I also received a friendly email notifying me ! Get the app! Don’t miss out on this historic event!!
remarkably well designed interface

I am a user interface designer. I have not submitted an app review in years, and yet I felt compelled to add this. While the app is a fairly simple app, it is extremely well designed - one of the very best I’ve seen: 1) it employs a very clever method to specify the location from which you’ll be viewing the eclipse, and 2) The crystal clear depiction of where the eclipse will be passing through your state is clever and clear. I love seeing great design – well done team.
Annoyed

I was only 70 miles from a total totality location so I went ahead and paid for the “pro version” guided countdown. I wish it had said before paying that you had to be WITHIN a totality area to have the paid version be worth it’s money. I got literally nothing from the pro version. Lucky it’s only 3$ but I feel like there should have been some more information. I would have been happy if I had even gotten a guided countdown for the closest totality area to me. I was looking forward to seeing all the features shown in the example and saw none at all instead. It was a waste of 3$ for where I was located. Would have been worth every penny if I had been in a different area.
