## What is Sky Clock?

Never miss what's above you.

Sky Clock answers one question: what's worth stepping outside for, from exactly where you're standing? It picks tonight's best sight, plans your week of sky (Space Station passes, planets, the Moon, sky pairings, meteor shower peaks), and points your phone straight at it. No giant star catalog to dig through. No account, no sign-up.

WHAT SKY CLOCK DOES

- Tells you about everything worth seeing, without asking: the Space Station, China's space station, Starlink trains, planets at their best, sky pairings and meteor shower peaks. It taps your wrist 10 minutes before the Station flies over.
- Only when it's clear: every alert comes with a clear-sky verdict, and on a clear evening you'll hear about it that afternoon.
- Shows you where to look: which planets are up right now, and your phone to find them.
- A beautiful interactive map of every star you can actually see, drawn for the light you really have.
- A plan for your week: the best things to see, and when, with the best night picked for you.
- The aurora: know the nights it could reach you.
- Tonight's plan, dusk to dawn, and time travel to any moment in the sky.
- Photo tips for every sighting, made for your iPhone.
- A Sky Passport of everything you've seen, synced privately through your own iCloud account.
- Share Plus with up to 6 people in your family.

BUILT FOR YOUR BACKYARD
Everything is computed for your exact location and works offline. No ads, no account, no clutter. Just you, the sky, and a straight answer.

Whether you're wondering "what's that bright thing?" or you never want to miss a meteor shower again, Sky Clock is the sky companion that meets you right where you're standing.

Look up. We'll tell you when.

New in Sky Clock 1.5

• A new welcome: tell us what you want to see and when you can get outside, and Sky Clock builds your plan of real sightings from where you are.
• Sky pairings: when the Moon meets Venus, or two planets line up. The prettiest sight you can catch from a city.
• China's space station and Starlink trains, the line of lights that makes people stop and stare.
• A clear-sky verdict on every Plus alert ("Clear at 7:12. Go."), so you only head out when it's worth it.
• Photo tips for each sighting, made for your iPhone.
• Plus Forever: pay once, keep Plus for good. And Plus can now be shared with up to 6 people in your family.
• Lots of smaller fixes and polish.

### 1.3 — 2026-10-20

A calmer, clearer Sky Clock, built around one question: what's worth stepping outside for?

• Tonight: a new home screen that leads with tonight's best sight, the week ahead and your Sky Passport progress
• This week above you: every Space Station pass, planet and meteor shower worth seeing over the next seven nights, in one list
• Four tabs instead of six: Tonight, Sky, Plan and Passport

Sky Clock now picks the best thing for you to see, books it, and guides you right to it.

• First Light: your first sighting, chosen for where you are, with a reminder before it starts
• Find mode: a big arrow and a buzz that gets faster as you swing onto it, plus a daytime practice run so you know exactly where to look
• Sky Passport: collect every planet, Moon phase, meteor shower and showpiece cluster, and see what you can catch this month
• A live countdown on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, and a new Next Sighting widget
• Invite someone: share a sighting with the time and direction, even if they do not have the app
• Fixes: the free trial reminder now arrives as promised, and times stay correct right after your location updates

### 1.1.2 — 2026-09-28

Bug fixes and performance improvements.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-09-22

Sky Clock now sends anonymous usage data, including recordings of what happens on screen, so the parts of the app that confuse people can be found and fixed. Your place name, coordinates, notes and photos are hidden on your device before anything is sent, and your location is never attached. The privacy policy at skyclockapp.com/privacy says exactly what is collected.
