No AI was used in the making of this app, including code and visual assets. The app comes with the Earth and Mars clocks free of charge (including associated moons), and additional planet clocks can be purchased through the app or the App Store. The purchase also includes the new customisable widgets and the current and past positions of supported objects. Did you ever want to know the time on Saturn? The simple Solar System Clock can tell the time on any planet or dwarf planet, and the Sun in relation to Earth time. Calculated from the starting date of the Gregorian calendar, the app displays seconds, minutes, hours, days and years for each object based on orbit and rotation data. The time is given in both analog and digital formats and can be stopped and restarted for easy viewing, while keeping to the accurate localised time. A single analog clock face for all planets and dwarf planets is also included, and can be split into two clocks for main planets and dwarf planets. Times can be freely translated between planets, the Sun and moons. The app also provides the current and past positions of the planets, moons and dwarf planets to scale in the form of an interactive map, and the seasons on every planet and dwarf planet. A widget form of the Earth and Mars clocks is provided for circular widget slots on Apple Watch, and widgets on other supported devices can be customised within the app. An iMessage extension is also included to enable easy communication using the time systems. The main clock can also be projected as functional wall art.

Most astrology starts with a birth time you were never sure was right. Vedic Samay is the only app in the world that computes your true birth time from your real life events — then builds your entire astrological profile on that corrected time. Sub-lord charts, deep horary (Prashna) analysis, Vedic numerology with triggered yogas, live panchang, and AI chart consultations — all on one unified credit system. No subscriptions. BIRTH TIME RECTIFICATION — UNIQUE WORLDWIDE Most astrology depends on a birth time you can't verify. This is the only app that fixes that. Enter your verified life events — marriage, children's births, career changes, education, health, legal matters, property, relocation, accidents — each with its real date. Using sub-lord astronomical calculation, the engine scores candidate birth times against what actually happened in your life and surfaces the time that best fits your history. What once required an expensive practitioner sitting is now in your pocket — and every other feature is computed from that corrected time. 360° CHART ANALYSIS A complete, multi-angle study of a single chart — more than thirty analysis modules working together: Cuspal Sub-Lord promise and negation checks, dasha chains with amplification and timing, transit go/no-go, Rahu/Ketu and Sade Sati, health and life-area breakdowns, hidden-money and near-miss reads, energy leaks, structural patterns, and day-level micro-timing. PRASHNA — HORARY ANALYSIS Some questions can't wait for a birth chart. Prashna casts a chart for the exact moment you ask. The engine studies that cast in depth: promise and negation checks, ruling planets, the 249-division horary lookup, day/hora timing, near-miss and recovery analysis, query-area promise, stop-go splits, and a solution timeline showing when conditions open up. Every cast is saved with its own verdict history and notes, and can be shared as a clean summary card. AI CHART CONSULTATIONS Ask any life question — career, marriage, property, children, timing — and get structured analysis grounded in your actual chart: your cuspal positions, dasha periods, and significators. Real analysis from your own data, not generic zodiac text. SUB-LORD CHARTS Full charts computed to sub-sub-lord depth using the Placidus house system — planetary positions, house cusps, significator tables, and effective links. Professional-grade detail on your phone. VEDIC NUMEROLOGY Complete numerology from your date of birth — core and destiny numbers, the Lo Shu grid with plane analysis, planetary yogas, and Mahadasha/Antardasha timelines. Computes triggered yogas down to the day level, showing exactly when specific combinations activate. Includes name analysis against your basic and destiny numbers. LIVE PANCHANG & MUHURAT Real-time Nakshatra, Tithi, Yoga, and Karana from astronomical data, plus auspicious timing (Muhurat) and Rahu Kaal for your location. Two home-screen widgets keep your daily Nakshatra transit and personal numerology dasha a glance away. PDF REPORTS Generate detailed reports from your saved charts — full chart analysis, compatibility, and numerology breakdowns. View, email, and share directly from the app. WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT Birth-time rectification from your real life events — unique worldwide Every feature computed from your corrected birth time AI analysis grounded in your computed chart, not generic text Deep horary (Prashna) analysis for in-the-moment questions Triggered numerology yogas to day-level precision Sub-sub-lord chart depth most apps don't offer One-time credits — no subscriptions, credits never expire 7 free credits on sign-up Built for astrology practitioners, numerology students, and anyone serious about understanding their chart.
