Lunaqlo - Moon Phase Clock
A quiet moon for your room
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Lunaqlo shows the moon as it is right now, and the time. Nothing else.
The moon is not a photograph. It is drawn each time from a single set of NASA lunar data — the LROC albedo mosaic and LOLA topography — mapped onto a sphere and lit from wherever the sun actually is at that moment. Craters catch the light along the terminator. The phase changes continuously, because the light does, not because an image was swapped.
There is no date, no notifications, no interface. Tap once and two controls fade in; leave it alone and they fade out again. Set it on a shelf and it keeps the sky.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Put the moon where you like.
• Pinch to resize it, drag to move it. Where you leave it is where it stays.
• Leave it alone and the layout drifts on its own, slowly. Turn it off in Settings.
• Zoom in and the craters hold up — they are computed from NASA's lunar relief, not drawn on.
• The time is white now, and a size larger by default. It was too faint to read with the lights on.
• The time scales with the moon, so the two always belong together.
• One purchase also unlocks four sizes for the time.
