## What is BiteTime?

Fish feed on a schedule. Most anglers ignore it. BiteTime puts that schedule on your home screen.

Solunar theory has predicted feeding activity since 1926 — based on the moon's position overhead, underfoot, rising, and setting. It is the closest thing fishing has to a cheat code. BiteTime calculates it all locally, for any spot, any day, up to a year ahead.

THE SOLUNAR ARC

Your entire fishing day in one view. A live arc shows the sun and moon tracking across the sky with feeding windows highlighted in real time. Major periods glow when the bite is on. Drag the timeline to scout any hour of the day before you head out.

DAILY RATING

Every day gets a 1-to-5 rating based on moon phase and feeding period alignment with sunrise and sunset. New moon and full moon days score highest. Quarter moons score lowest. You will know at a glance whether today is worth the trip.

FOUR FEEDING WINDOWS

BiteTime calculates all four daily feeding periods:

Major Period 1 -- Moon overhead (transit). Roughly 2 hours of peak activity.
Major Period 2 -- Moon underfoot (opposite transit). Same intensity, opposite side.
Minor Period 1 -- Moonrise. About 1 hour of elevated feeding.
Minor Period 2 -- Moonset. Same as moonrise, at the other end.

When a major period overlaps sunrise or sunset, activity spikes. BiteTime flags these overlap days so you never miss the best windows of the month.

52-WEEK FORECAST

Planning a trip three weekends from now? Check the daily rating and feeding times before you book. Swipe through a full year of forecasts, day by day, with moon phase and feeding periods for every date.

SAVE YOUR SPOTS

GPS follow mode updates automatically as you move. Save your favorite fishing spots — lake, river, pier, wherever — and BiteTime recalculates feeding times for each location and timezone.

WIDGET

A home screen widget that answers the only question that matters: when is the next bite window? Medium and large sizes. Updated throughout the day. Tap to open the full forecast.

ABOUT SOLUNAR THEORY

John Alden Knight published solunar theory in 1926 after studying the feeding patterns of fish and game relative to the moon's position. The idea is simple: when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot, gravitational pull peaks and fish feed more aggressively. Moonrise and moonset create secondary feeding windows. Decades of fishing logs support the pattern. BiteTime puts it in your pocket.
