How we picked: we read each app’s own App Store description for what it shows about the moon, phase, rise and set times, moon sign or rituals, whether it uses your location, and what sits around it, practice, photography or astrology. We do not quote prices; check them in the store for your country.
Moon rhythms for your practice
Vibris is a meditation and energy app built around the moon: unlike ordinary lunar calendars, it calculates the moon’s rhythms each day for your actual location, using astronomical calculations based on official NASA JPL ephemerides, so you can plan meditations, journal entries and rituals around the phases. Around it sit guided meditations for breathing, rest and focus, a library of 432Hz, binaural and nature sounds, crystals with descriptions and ways to use them, a natal chart, a mood and reflection journal for emotions, dreams and energy, daily symbolic prompts, meditation and sleep timers and personal reminders, in several languages including Ukrainian.
A lunar calendar for moon watching and photos
My Moon Phase is a dark-themed lunar calendar: it shows the current moon cycle, moonrise and moonset times and when the next full moon, new moon, first quarter and last quarter fall, for your location or one you pick. You can scroll to any future date, see how cloudy the sky is expected to be so you know whether the moon will be visible, check golden hour and blue hour for moon photography, and get notified when the moon reaches a phase you choose, along with its distance from Earth, age and altitude. It says all functionality is free, with no in-app purchases.
Moon signs, alerts and moon rituals
Full Moon Phase shows the current phase on a 3D-rendered moon together with the moon sign it is transiting: a countdown to the next full moon, a notification the moment the moon moves into a new sign, alerts 24 hours before every full and new moon, a monthly calendar of phases, void of course periods, Mercury retrograde and the current element, home screen widgets, and a flip for the southern hemisphere with no location access needed. Saged is a daily spiritual practice that blends astrology, tarot, oracle readings and moon rituals: guided meditations, moon horoscopes, a daily card pull, gratitude and affirmations, and full moon ceremonies to sync with nature’s cycles.
