Your sky, now on your Home Screen Introducing four widgets for iPhone and iPad: Moon Today, Next Full Moon, Meteor Showers, and Upcoming Events. See the current phase, count down to the next full moon, and keep upcoming sky events close by. Choose a starry or plain dark background, and pick which event categories appear in Upcoming Events. A gentler start A new welcome screen explains location and notification permissions before your device asks. Allow or deny either one, then step into your journal. Fresh reminders Daily journal reminders now include a variety of gentle reflection prompts, with the reminder time still yours to choose. Plus refreshed launch branding and visual refinements throughout Moon-Journal. Widgets require iOS 17 or iPadOS 17 or later.

Your own sign, alongside the Moon's Add your birthday and Moon Journal will show your zodiac sign in your profile. It is entirely optional, it stays on your device, and it is never uploaded. Sharper sky data Moonrise, moonset, sunrise and sunset are now calculated for exactly where you are. Eclipses tell you whether one is visible from your location and when to look up, and the calendar now includes solar eclipses alongside lunar ones. Equinoxes and solstices fall on the right day in your own time zone, and the Moon's sign, age and distance are drawn from full astronomical ephemeris. Meteor showers, with their whole season Showers last for weeks, not a single night. The calendar now shows the full stretch around each peak, so you can watch one build instead of catching it on the day. What's in the sky Each day tells you what is above the horizon where you are: how much of the night the Moon is up, whether an eclipse is visible from your spot, and which showers are running — including when moonlight will outshine the fainter ones. Plus a more polished calendar and a range of small refinements throughout.
