abLunar
Private, on-device moon guide
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
New in 1.3: see how the Moon moves, from above and from the side, for any date. Take a hands-on tour, see sharper Moon photos, and use abLunar on iPhone Duo.
abLunar is a calm, privacy-first companion for the Moon. Everything it shows is calculated on your iPhone with precise astronomical math, checked against NASA JPL data. No account, no ads, no tracking.
TONIGHT AT A GLANCE
• The phase as a real photograph of the Moon, with how much is lit, its distance and its age.
• When it rises and sets where you are, on an arc you can drag through the night.
• Where to look: altitude and compass bearing, right now.
• The next new and full moon, with supermoon, micromoon and eclipse call-outs. Tap to jump to that date.
• Any date: step by day, month or year to see the Moon on a birthday or a night you remember.
• An illustrated guide to the eight phases, and How the Moon moves: the Moon's orbit from above and from the side, for any date, with links to NASA's guides.
• Take the Tour: a short, hands-on guide to abLunar.
PLAN THE NIGHT (PRO)
• Places: save cities and see the Moon there, in that place's own time zone.
• Moon map: where the Moon rises and sets for any spot on a map, with the Low-Moon window when it looks biggest. Line it up behind a landmark. A compass shows which way you're facing.
• Moonlight: how bright the night will be, hour by hour, and the moon-dark hours that are best for stars.
• Moon calendars: printable month calendars with every day's moon, in Almanac, Night or Ink-saver style, on Letter or A4.
• Moon plan: add full moons, moonrises and dark-sky hours to your calendar, or print a one-page week or a full table for any trip.
THE MOON THAT NIGHT
Pick a photo and see the Moon when and where you took it: its phase, how much was lit, and whether it was up in that sky. Each photo joins your Moon Journal, where you can add a title and a note, keep a Moons-in-a-row streak and collect badges for supermoons, eclipses and more. Three free lookups, unlimited with Pro.
WIDGETS, ALERTS AND SIRI
• Moon Phase widget, and a Control Center control (free).
• Tonight, Moon Compass and Moon Countdown widgets for the Home Screen and Lock Screen, with a countdown that can follow tonight, the photographer's night, or the next full and new moon (Pro).
• Moon alerts for full moons, supermoons, eclipses and evening moonrises (Pro, off until you turn them on).
• Ask Siri "When is the next full moon in abLunar?" or "Tonight's moon in abLunar".
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
abLunar has no sign-in and no tracking. Your location, if you allow it, is used on your device. The app talks only to Apple: Maps to name places, and the App Store for Pro. Links to NASA's guides open in Safari. Calendar access, when you use it, is add-only: abLunar can add moon events but cannot read your calendar. Photos you look up are never uploaded: your Moon Journal keeps a small copy on your device until you delete it. Nothing is sent to the developer.
abLunar Pro is an auto-renewing yearly subscription with a free one-week trial for new subscribers.
