## What is Stargaze AR Star Map & Planets?

Point your phone at the sky. Stargaze identifies every visible star, names the constellations, and overlays them onto the real sky in AR. Tap to learn what you're looking at; long-press to see when it sets. The app knows where Saturn is right now relative to your horizon, when the next ISS pass is over your house, and what the Perseids will look like this August.

No ads. No tracking. No account. The math runs entirely on your device.

WHY IT WORKS OFFLINE
All celestial positions are computed on-device using public-domain algorithms (VSOP87 planetary positions, Schlyter's lunar formulae, SGP4 satellite propagation, Yale Bright Star Catalog). No network needed — perfect for remote dark-sky sites.

WHAT WE DON'T DO
No astrology. No tracking SDKs. No ads. No accounts. The math is real.
