Plenilune shows the Moon as it is tonight: its phase is computed from its real position, then drawn like an engraving. I built it end to end with one idea: bringing together, in a single app, the precision of astronomy and the beauty of engravings. Moonrise and moonset times are computed for the place where you are, and so is the visibility of eclipses. And every morning, a moon story: a saying, a belief, a fact of astronomy.

Every shipping app on the App Store has gone through the same decisions you're working through right now: which screenshot goes first, what caption sits over it, which device frame to show, what color the background should be.

Hit Use this style to open the editor with these exact colours and drop your own screenshot in.
