A Living Sky Today's screen has been rebuilt from the ground up. The background is the real sky, right now — dawn's soft blue, day's warmth, dusk's rose, night's deep indigo — with the sun and moon tracing their actual position overhead. Your greeting, your day's score, and what's coming next now live inside that sky instead of a stack of cards. A New Way to Navigate A floating dock replaces the old tab bar — a sun that fills in with the day's progress, glows for Rahu Kaal and Abhijit Muhurat, and turns to a moon after sunset. More of the Panchang, in Full Full Panchang now surfaces Amrit Kaal and Varjyam alongside the day's auspicious and inauspicious windows, plus Agnivasa and Shivavasa — traditional indicators many priests and practitioners track alongside the core panchang. Rahu Kaal Live Activity Open the app near or during Rahu Kaal and a live countdown now appears right on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. More Accurate Muhurat Finder Results now score against the exact tithi at each time slot rather than the day's tithi as a whole, and correctly distinguish Purnimanta from Amanta month conventions. A Quieter Design Throughout New serif headlines, refreshed section headers, and a calmer, more considered look across Today, Full Panchang, Guidance, and every tool screen.
