Moon phases

Moon Phases displays lunar phase and illumination alongside a calendar, sunrise and sunset information for a detected location.

Our take

Pick for a convenient visual lunar reference.

Past and future dates and local solar information are useful for everyday observation planning.

Keep in mind: The developer states that Wi-Fi internet is needed and documents past weather-provider changes. Verify present data availability before relying on it for a particular date or place.

What you can do

  • View phase and illumination
  • Browse lunar dates in a calendar
  • Show local sunrise and sunset with day/night presentation

Good for

  • Casual moon watchers who want a desktop reference.

Consider alternatives for

  • Users needing certified astronomical ephemerides or a guaranteed offline tool.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: macOS 10.14.
  • The developer states that Wi-Fi internet is needed and documents past weather-provider changes. Verify present data availability before relying on it for a particular date or place.

Privacy & permissions

Location detection supports local results and the developer specifies an internet connection. Check location permissions rather than assuming the calendar is entirely offline.
