Today is your almanac for the day you are looking at - every sun and moon event, in order, with the sun's arc drawn overhead and both bodies' live positions ticking as time passes. It answers "where is the light right now, and what happens next" without a single calculation on your part.
The day drawn as a curve, with a marker riding the sun's real position.
The big card at the top draws the sun's path for the day as a curve - sunrise on the left, sunset on the right - and a glowing marker travels along it to show roughly where the sun is right now. Before sunrise or after sunset, the marker sits below the horizon line instead, so a glance tells you whether the sun is up at all.
The card's background is not decoration: its gradient shifts with the sun's actual altitude, so the panel itself tells you what kind of light you are standing in.
Above the arc, a status line says what is happening this minute: "Golden hour - right now," "Blue hour - right now," a countdown to the next event ("Sunset in 1h 42m"), or simply "Daylight" or "Night" with the clock. Tap the date in the header to jump to any day, or step a day at a time with the arrows; when you are off today, a Back to today button appears.
Every reading is computed on your device for your exact coordinates and the exact date on screen. The almanac works offline; live weather is fetched from open services.
Every event of the day, top to bottom, with its clock time - so darkness arrives in stages you can see.
Below the arc, the Sun card lists the day's events in chronological order, each with its time. Sunset routinely runs an hour and a half ahead of real darkness, and this ladder is why you stop guessing:
When an event does not happen that day - common at high latitudes in midsummer or midwinter - its row shows a dash instead of a time, and near the poles a banner explains that the sun is up, or down, all day. The card header also carries the day length, the span from sunrise to sunset in hours and minutes.
Phase, illumination and moon times, plus where the sun and moon actually are right now.
The moon card paints a disc matching the current phase and illumination, beside the phase name (from New Moon through Waning Crescent), the percent lit, and the day's moonrise and moonset - or "Up all day" / "Down all day" at latitudes where the moon does not cross the horizon. An UP NOW or BELOW HORIZON pill tells you its state this minute, which matters more than the phase when you are deciding whether the moon will be in your frame.
Under it, the Positions card gives the sun and moon's live azimuth - the compass direction as both a point and a degree, like "SE 132" - and their altitude in degrees above or below the horizon, marked "(below)" when they have set. It refreshes about every 30 seconds while the app is open, so it stays honest as the night moves.
