Your town, not the headlines. Exactly what the eclipse of 12 August 2026 does from where you stand: the times, how much of the Sun goes, whether it goes dark. Offline.
That evening, with the Sun low, the Moon's shadow crosses mainland Spain and the Balearics. If you are heading south, half of Spain is outside the path. 4,065 of its 8,131 towns get a partial, with a median of 99.3% of the Sun covered. And 99.3% is not "almost totality". It is a different event.
BOOKED A CITY? CHECK IT FIRST
Madrid 99.9%. Barcelona 99.8%. Seville and Málaga 94.7%. In those cities it does not go dark, the corona never appears, and the filter never comes off. The gap between 99.9% and 100% is not 0.1%: it is seeing it or not seeing it. It tells you what you will really see instead of saying "you are outside" and going quiet.
SHOULD I MOVE? HOW FAR?
Destinations are ranked by what you gain, not by how near. The closest town with totality usually hands you 12 seconds, which is nothing. From Madrid, El Molar is 28 km away with 61. From Seville, the nearest 60 seconds is 422 km away: the app tells you not to go.
WHAT YOU GET, IN THREE SECONDS
· Whether it goes dark where you are. No hedging.
· First contact, maximum and end, in local time.
· How many seconds totality lasts, if there is any.
· How much of the Sun is covered, and how high it will be.
THE DATA TRAVELS WITH YOU
The times, the map and all 9,255 towns across nine countries — Spain, Portugal, France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Iceland, Italy, Germany and Morocco — are worked out inside the phone. On 12 August, on a crowded hillside with the network jammed, that is the difference between having the time and not having it.
WHERE TO LOOK
This eclipse happens with the Sun very low: a median of 7.1° above the horizon, and below 10° in 7,638 of Spain's 8,131 towns. At that height a three-storey building 80 metres away hides the Sun completely. The app gives you that height for your town, so you can check your horizon with your own eyes. And something almost nobody mentions: in 6,494 towns the eclipse never ends, because the Sun sets first.
GLASSES AND SAFETY
Never look at the Sun without a certified filter. The prompt to take the filter off appears only where there is totality and it lasts long enough. Where there is none, the app says what has to be said: the filter stays on.
THE CAMERA
Photos come out with your town, the exact time and the percentage covered stamped on the image. Video records clean: re-encoding a whole clip on a hot phone costs CPU minutes you cannot spare. To share it, the video card — one frame, stamped. An automatic shutter covers the minutes that matter, so you are not staring at a screen when you should be looking up. And the solar filter warning stays in front, always.
WHAT USES THE INTERNET AND WHAT DOES NOT
The eclipse does not: nothing above needs a connection. One thing uses it, and only if you open it: the cloud report, where people say in one tap what is over their town, and you see what the ones nearby report. Nothing else leaves the phone. Your location, if you give it, stays inside and is never sent: only the town name is kept, and you can type it in by hand.
FREE, AND PAID
Free: the time, the duration, the percentage, whether it is total or partial here, the safety guidance, the search, the camera and its stamp, the widgets. Separately, a Pro: one payment, no subscription, with three develop presets made for eclipse light, your totality photos laid out in a single strip, and the stamp removed.
FINDING YOUR TOWN
With its province beside it, because 17 names are repeated. And under the names people use: type Gerona, Ibiza or San Sebastián and you get Girona, Eivissa and Donostia.

THE DATA IS NOW THE IGN'S
We were listing 4,067 municipalities inside totality; Spain's Instituto Geográfico Nacional lists 3,951. We were telling 116 towns they would see Spain's first total eclipse since 1905, and they won't. Not any more. Where totality does happen, the duration is the IGN's too: near the edge of the path we were off by up to 30 seconds — exactly where it matters.
AND THE WHOLE APP IN CATALAN
All 1,203 strings, from the first screen to the small print in the shop. Seven languages now.
The shop is open: 15 items printed with the name of the Spanish town where you'll be watching and the time of its maximum, plus certified eclipse glasses whose notified body number and certificate you can check before you pay. And the app tells you what reaches where before you choose, not at the checkout.
CERTIFIED ECLIPSE GLASSES, AND HOW TO CHECK THEM
EN ISO 12312-2:2015 and Regulation (EU) 2016/425, with EU type-examination by a notified body — DIN CERTCO, number 0196 — and the certificate number and its validity on the page, before you pay. Anyone can type "certified" on a product page; what can be checked is that four-digit number, and there it is. It is the only filter that protects your eyes: without one you must not look at the Sun at any point, not with the Sun low and not at 99.9%. They are delivered to addresses in Spain, mainland and the Balearics — flying out to see it, have them sent to your hotel there.
And for groups: five packs of 6 to 100 glasses from a second certified manufacturer — notified body 2834 — with shipping included to Spain, France, Germany, the UK and Portugal. Each listing states its standard, its notified body and where it ships before you choose, because the two do not cover the same countries.
THE SHOP, INSIDE THE APP
· 15 items — t-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, tote bag, poster, canvas, mugs — personalised with the Spanish town where you'll watch it, the time of its maximum and, where there is totality, how many seconds it lasted.
· 50 designs, and a line of your own on the ones that carry one.
· A search box that ignores accents and matches fragments.
· Filters by type and colour, and the one that matters this month: "arrives in time for the eclipse", from a delivery time measured item by item. If it does not arrive before 12 August, you get a 100% refund.
· A bag: several lines, quantities up and down, subtotal in view, one payment at the end.
· Printed items are made on demand and ship to the 27 countries of the European Union — not to the United Kingdom, and the app tells you that before you choose rather than at the till.
AND THREE FIXES YOU WILL NOTICE
· The widget could stay behind in another town and give the time and the percentage of somewhere that was no longer yours. Now the home screen and the app always name the same town.
· With Pro, the copy saved to Photos comes without the watermark. It used to be stripped only from the copy inside the app, and on 12 August the automatic shutter leaves about a dozen.
· The live screen switches itself off so that you look up instead. Now it warns you five minutes ahead and names the exact time it will go quiet, instead of going blank with no explanation.
Everything about the eclipse still works with no signal: the times, the map and all 9,255 towns are worked out inside the phone.
