## What is Sky Clock?

Step outside and finally know what you're looking at.

Sky Clock answers one question: what's worth looking at in the sky right now, from exactly where you're standing? No giant star catalog to dig through. No account, no sign-up. Open the app and in about ten seconds you'll know what's above you tonight.

WHAT YOU GET FOR FREE

- Which planets are up right now, and the ability to use your phone to find them.
- A beautiful interactive map of every star you can actually see, drawn for the light you really have.
- The next time the International Space Station passes over you, and where to watch for it.
- Tonight's verdict, and what's worth staying up for.
- The next two nights of the forecast, so you know whether tonight is the one.
- Your first three sightings, saved to your own stargazing log.

GO FURTHER WITH PLUS

- Tonight's plan: a dusk to dawn timeline with your best viewing window, after dark and moon-aware, so you head out at the right time.
- The full 7-night forecast: bright ISS passes, close conjunctions, and meteor shower peaks, before they happen.
- Alerts before the good stuff. A quiet nudge when the Space Station is about to fly over, a shower is peaking, or a planet is perfectly placed.
- An unlimited observation log: tap "I saw it" and build a personal life-list of everything you've ever spotted, synced privately through your own iCloud account.

BUILT FOR YOUR BACKYARD
Everything is computed for your exact location and works fully offline. No signal needed under a dark sky. 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 where.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-10-06

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.

### 1.1 — 2026-09-15

More of Sky Clock is now free. Tonight's verdict and what's worth staying up for, the next two nights of the forecast, and your first three sightings in the log — no subscription needed.

Also in this release:
- Fixed a bug where the setup screen could hang on "Working out your sky" if your location took a while to arrive.
- You can now enter a place by hand at any point during setup, instead of waiting on GPS.
- Fixed "I saw it" in the sky view showing a padlock and then opening anyway.

Clear skies.

### 1.0 — 2026-09-05
