About

Umbra

The Umbra App shows you exactly what a solar eclipse looks like from your location—not just whether one is happening, but how much of the sun will be obscured, when it begins, when it reaches its peak, and how high the sun will be above your horizon during the eclipse. The app works completely offline, and all calculations are performed on your device.
