Read full description

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.
