Moonfield is a lunar calendar and cyclical productivity app for finding your natural rhythm and aligning your days with the larger rhythms of the Moon, the seasons, and the sky. Follow the Moon, planets, aspects, seasons, and celestial events alongside your own days, intentions, reflections, inner weather, and what you’re growing. Moonfield keeps a record of what is happening in the sky alongside what is happening in your life. Over time, return to that record to notice patterns, changes, and connections that can be difficult to see while you’re living through them. Moonfield doesn’t tell you what the sky means or what you’re supposed to feel. It gives you a way to pay attention, keep a record, and discover what the patterns mean to you. Use Moonfield to: • Follow lunar phases, planetary movements, aspects, seasons, and celestial events • Record daily reflections, intentions, ideas, and your inner weather • Move through each lunar cycle with a living record of what unfolded • Return to past cycles and see your experiences from a wider perspective • Notice patterns, connections, and changes across time • Tend seeds, projects, and intentions through the Season view • Build a personal record that becomes more meaningful the longer you use it Pay attention to the larger rhythms around you. Pay attention to the rhythms within you. Keep a record. See what you discover.
