## What is Umbra Eclipse?

Umbra is the eclipse companion built by and for serious observers and photographers. Whether you're chasing your first total solar eclipse or fine-tuning a multi-camera setup, Umbra gives you the precision and the calm focus you need on the day.

WHAT'S INCLUDED FOR FREE
• Catalog of several solar eclipse — past, present, and future
• Pre-set observation sites along the centerline
• Voice and beep countdown to first contact, second contact, totality, and beyond
• Dynamic Island Live Activity that follows you through every phase
• Real-time field mode — a calm, glanceable timeline you can read in bright sunlight

UNLOCK FULL ACCESS (one-time purchase, no subscription)
• Tap anywhere on the map to observe from there
• Search any address or point of interest
• Use your current location
• Save and name your own custom spots
• Personal photo presets — ISO, aperture, shutter, and voice cues per phase

HOW IT'S DIFFERENT
• Math you can trust — contact times computed from Besselian elements
• Built for the field — high-contrast, glanceable, one-handed
• Quiet by design — no ads, no analytics, no tracking, no subscription

Eclipses are rare. Don't waste yours hunting for the next setting on a panicked phone. Umbra puts every contact, every focus check, every camera setting exactly where your hands need them — and lets you look up.
