Eclipse Run lets you pick the best spot for you to experience—live and in person!—Available in three languages (English, Spanish and French) it covers the eclipse of August 2nd 2027 (From Spain, across North Africa, from Morocco to Yemen). This app shows maps marking the zone where you can see the total eclipse. In the middle of the zone, is the line of maximum totality (the longest in many decades), depending on the location) The app now gives you 15 days of weather, the approximate duration of the eclipse at all spots within the zone of totality, the cloud cover for the past 2 years and the chance of clouds on eclipse day. It will also, in partnership with Booking.com help you find a place to stay. The maximum totality for this eclipse, is over 6 minutes.

On your journey, Eclipse Run gives you alerts when you enter the zone of totality, and when you cross the line of maximum totality. It’s easy to understand.
