Latitude: Night Sky
The night sky above you, kept
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
The night sky above you, right now, and a way to keep it.
Latitude shows the real sky over your exact location: the moon and its phase, the naked-eye planets, the bright stars and the constellations they belong to, all computed on your device, to the minute, for where you are standing. Tap any point of light and it tells you, truthfully, what it is.
Then it does something no other sky app does. It writes the night down. From the facts of your sky, Latitude composes a short, beautiful field note, the kind a 19th-century observer would pencil in a notebook:
"A bright moon washed the faint stars silver. Jupiter stood low in the east."
Keep the ones that matter. Each saved sky becomes a luminous artifact you can return to, and a card you can share: a small rendered picture of that exact night above your typeset note, dated and placed. Proof you were there, looking up.
A pocket universe
• The whole visible sky in one glance, dusk to dawn
• Phase-accurate moon, naked-eye planets, bright stars and constellations
• Tap to identify: real positions, genuinely correct for your location and time
• Pull time across the night and watch the sky answer
• Honest viewing quality, from real cloud cover
• NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day
Made to be kept
• Save a sky and relive it any time
• Share a field-note card built from your real night
• Beautiful on iPhone and iPad alike
Quiet by design
• No account. No sign-up. No tracking.
• Your location never leaves your device, it only feeds the sky.
Southern skies welcome. Latitude works anywhere on Earth, and unlike most sky apps it does not assume you are standing in the northern hemisphere.
The sky is factual. The experience is a poem. Look up.
