StarPlanner: Stargazing
Night Sky Forecast & Events
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
See tonight’s best target and compare the clearest nights ahead. StarPlanner combines sky events, weather and moonlight—private, focused and ad-free.
Know if tonight is worth stepping outside—and which of the next 16 nights looks even better.
StarPlanner combines sky events, local weather, darkness, and moonlight into one clear observing plan. It picks tonight’s best target, shows the viewing window, and tells you where to look.

FREE AND PRO
Free includes the best target and night, current-month planning, sky map, journal, and basic reminders. Pro adds the top five nights, up to four personalized targets, full planet visibility schedules, future calendar planning, and smart clear-sky alerts.
No account, ads, trackers, or analytics SDKs. Your journal and settings stay on your device, and you can choose a city without granting GPS access.
Background stars are schematic. StarPlanner does not claim to be an AR planetarium or a visible ISS-pass predictor.
