Cinematic Moon Utility
Free · In‑App Purchases
720 real NASA moon frames. Golden hour timing. AR moon finder. The most cinematic way to track the lunar cycle on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Vision Pro.
Albedo turns your screen into a window to the moon. Built with 720 real NASA lunar frames, it renders the moon's current phase in stunning detail — accurate to the hour, beautiful enough to stare at.
Whether you're timing a golden hour shoot, tracking moonrise for a night hike, or simply wondering what the moon looks like tonight, Albedo puts precise astronomical data inside an interface designed to feel like cinema.
REAL NASA MOON, FRAME BY FRAME
720 high-resolution lunar images map every hour of the 29.5-day synodic cycle. Scrub through time with a precision slider and watch the moon wax and wane in front of you. Each frame is a real photograph — not a rendering.
GOLDEN HOUR & BLUE HOUR TRACKER
Know exactly when the light is perfect. Albedo calculates morning and evening golden hour and blue hour windows for your location, displayed on a beautiful 24-hour light chart. Plan your next shoot down to the minute.
MOON CALENDAR
Browse lunar phases across any month from 2000 to 2100. Each day shows a thumbnail of the moon's appearance, making it easy to plan around full moons, new moons, and everything in between.
MOON JOURNAL
Attach notes and photos to any date on the calendar. Record observations, mark shooting conditions, or keep a lunar diary. Your entries are stored securely on-device with SwiftData.
AR MOON FINDER
Point your camera at the sky and find the moon. Albedo places an accurate 3D moon at the real lunar position using ARKit, with a guide arrow when the moon is off-screen.
INTERACTIVE 3D MOON
Explore a textured 3D lunar globe you can rotate freely. Examine the surface up close, from the Sea of Tranquility to the Tycho crater.
MOONRISE, MOONSET & DISTANCE
Precise moonrise and moonset times for your location, plus real-time lunar distance. All calculations adapt as you scrub through time.
SMART NOTIFICATIONS
Get notified before full moons, new moons, and evening golden hours so you never miss a moment. Customizable alerts delivered at the right time.
LOCATION-AWARE
Albedo uses your GPS for accurate local calculations, or let you search and set any location manually. All solar and lunar times adjust instantly.
DESIGNED FOR DARK
A pure black interface with glassmorphism accents and cinematic serif typography. Albedo is built for night use — easy on the eyes, beautiful in the dark.
