About

Lunore

Features
Read full description

Lunore is a complete moon and sky companion that works entirely on your device — no accounts, no data collection, no internet required. Just you and the sky. Moon Phase, Fully Detailed See the current phase name, illumination percentage, and a 0.0–1.0 cycle value showing exactly where the moon sits in its complete journey. Track its age in days, and see the precise angle of the lit side relative to your location — so you always know exactly what you're looking at when you glance up. Your Sky, Your Location Enter your zip code once and Lunore calculates everything for your exact coordinates. See moonrise and moonset times, sunrise and sunset times, and where the moon sits relative to the horizon right now — no GPS required, nothing ever leaves your device. Western & Vedic Zodiac Together See the moon's current sign in both the Tropical (Western) and Sidereal (Vedic) zodiac systems side by side. Lunore includes the mythology, symbolism, and notable stars behind each sign — so every position has meaning, not just a label. Past, Present & Future Know when the last full moon and new moon were, and how many days until the next ones. Scroll through a full calendar and tap any date and time to instantly recalculate every reading for that moment — perfect for planning, reflection, or curiosity. The Solar System in Motion Watch an interactive orrery showing the current positions of all planets in real time. See which zodiac sign each planet occupies, and receive a notification whenever a planet changes signs. Moon Notes That Remember Keep personal notes organized by moon phase — new moon intentions, full moon reflections, quarter moon check-ins. Set a reminder for each note so you're nudged at exactly the phase percentage you choose. Widgets for Every Glance Put the moon on your home screen, lock screen, or iPad. Lunore includes widgets in every size for current moon phase, zodiac sign, and solar system positions — always current, never stale. Beautiful Share Cards Create and export stunning image cards to share your sky moment: a Moon Phase card, a Solar System Alignment card, or a Phase + Zodiac card featuring both Western and Vedic signs. Notifications That Actually Matter Choose exactly what you want to be notified about: new moon, full moon, first quarter, last quarter — and which planets to watch for sign changes. No noise, just the moments you care about. Completely Private by Design Lunore performs every calculation on your device using your local time and coordinates. No analytics. No tracking. Works completely offline. Terms of Use: https://keois.com/products/lunore/terms-of-use.html Privacy Policy: https://keois.com/products/lunore/privacy-policy.html
