Open Almanox and let it use your location, or add a place by name from the location picker. Everything - times, the verdict, the Milky Way window - is then computed for exactly where you stand. Head to Tonight for the verdict and Today for the sun and moon almanac.

Make sure location permission is granted to Almanox in your phone settings. You can always add a location manually by name instead - Almanox never requires GPS, and a saved place works exactly the same.

No account, ever. The core almanac - sun, moon, twilight, Milky Way, the verdict - is computed on your device and works fully offline. Only live weather and the next ISS pass use a connection.

No. Almanox Pro is a one-time purchase of $12.99. No subscription, no ads, no recurring charge. Buy it once, keep it.

Pro unlocks the Milky Way and dark-sky windows, the sun and moon shot planner, the photo calculators, the dark-sky place finder, live sky conditions, the ISS pass, the star chart, and the AR sky finder. The Tonight verdict and the full sun and moon almanac are free - so you can judge the app before you buy. Every locked feature shows a real sample of what you get.

Sign in to the same App Store or Google Play account and use Restore Purchases in Settings. Your Pro unlock is tied to your store account, so there is nothing to transfer.
