Sky Now tells you the moment a beautiful sky moment is happening near you — crowdsourced by people around you. It can also give alerts for predictable sky events.
Don't miss the moment. Sky Now tells you when something worth stepping outside for is happening right near you — a wild sunset, a rainbow, the northern lights — spotted and shared by people around you, in real time. It can also show you sky events happening around the world.
Sky Now is a crowdsourced sky-watching app built around one idea: the best moments in the sky are fleeting, and you shouldn't have to just get lucky to catch them.
REAL-TIME ALERTS
See sunsets, sunrises, rainbows, cloud formations, aurora, lightning, and more as they're happening nearby. Alerts only go out once at least two different people confirm the same sighting, so what reaches your notifications is always worth a look.
NEVER MISS THE PREDICTABLE ONES
Get advance notice for full moons, lunar and solar eclipses, meteor showers, and Sky Now's own vivid-sunset forecast, so you can actually be outside when it counts.
A MAP OF WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW
See sightings plotted near you, filterable by type, updating as you explore. Find epic sunset views wherever you go.
A FEED WORTH SCROLLING
Sort by newest, nearest, or farthest. Filter by tag. Share any moment straight to your camera roll. No ads, no endless scrolling, no algorithm fighting for your attention — just today's sky, updated daily.
YOUR OWN SKY BRIEFING
My Sky Today gives you a daily snapshot: tonight's sunset quality, moon phase, whether a meteor shower is peaking, and which planets are visible right now.
CAPTURE & SHARE
Snap a photo or pick one from your library, tag what you saw, and help others nearby catch it too. Every photo is automatically screened before it's shared.
BADGES, NOT FOLLOWERS
Earn recognition for being observant — Sunset Chaser, Morning Person, Globe Trotter, Keen Eye — and track your streak of days spent actually looking up. No followers, no like-counting, no algorithm to please. Just your own quiet log of moments.
PRIVACY BY DESIGN
Your exact location is never shown to anyone. Every post and every alert radius is geofuzzed before it's ever saved — precise enough to be useful, fuzzy enough to be safe.
Sky Now works better with friends nearby — invite a few, and you'll never wonder what you missed outside again.
