Moon Tides
○   Android · live now  ·  iOS · soon

The sea, the sky, and the hour — read at a glance.

Moon Tides is a single, quiet screen. Tide curve, moon disk, and sun arc, drawn together for the moment you're standing in. No menus to navigate, no labels to read. Numbers, glyphs, and light — the way an instrument should speak.

Moon Tides app showing a 94% illuminated waning gibbous moon, a 24-hour tide curve, and a sun arc for San Francisco.
The home screen — three panels

Three readings, stacked. One glance, the whole day.

From the top: where the moon is, what the water is doing, where the sun stands. Each panel is a quiet instrument — no copy to skim, just shape and number. They share one background, one rhythm, one mood.

Moon

A live disk, breathing in starlight.

Correct terminator shadow for your latitude and the hour you're in. A soft glow that rises and falls. Stars twinkle behind. It's the night sky, drawn for the lock screen of your life.

Tide

A 24-hour curve, drawn for now.

Catmull-Rom smoothing. Day-and-night shading behind. Gold marks the highs, teal marks the lows, and a live "now" line walks the curve through the day. Heights in metres or feet — your call.

Sun

An arc that the day walks across.

The path from rise to set, solid where the sun has already been, dashed where it's still going. A second dotted arc traces the moon's path. Compass anchors at the ends. Real time, no refresh.

Not for navigation

Moon Tides is a reference instrument for everyday awareness. It is not a marine navigation tool. For passage planning, always consult official tide tables, charts, and the latest port authority data.
