Rahu — Vedic Timer
Vedic timing for decisions
Free · In‑App Purchases
Rahu tells you, in one glance, whether now is a good time to act — using the Vedic Choghadiya system refined over 5,000 years and applied through exact mathematics.
No menus. No Sanskrit. No learning curve. Three answers: YES, WAIT, OK.
——————————— WHAT IT DOES ———————————
Every day is divided into 16 periods (8 day + 8 night), each ruled by a planet with its own character. Rahu overlays the inauspicious Rahu Kalam shadow period — the single most important window to avoid for new beginnings.
Rahu crunches sunrise, sunset, and planetary math for your exact location, then shows the answer on one screen with a live countdown.

——————————— WHAT IT'S NOT ———————————
Not fortune-telling. Not horoscopes. Not daily predictions.
Rahu is a timing tool. It computes auspicious windows from astronomical data (sunrise, sunset, planetary rulership) exactly the way traditional pandits do — but without the astrology app bloat.

Ratings & Reviews
• Tomorrow timeline now names the blocker when Yamaghanda or Gulika overrides a Choghadiya slot — no more contradictory 'Best of day · AVOID' rows.
• Home-screen widget shows the next favorable period correctly (orange when overridden by a special).
• Apple Watch ring tints ruby for all three shadow periods (Rahu Kaal, Yamaghanda, Gulika).
• Settings → Choghadiya help screen documents the three special periods.
• Refreshed marketing screenshots; native Apple Watch screenshots.
