## Description

MoonRef is a complete lunar companion that runs entirely on your device, with no internet connection and no GPS required.<br><br>WHAT IT SHOWS<br>- The current moon phase for any date, with the exact illuminated percentage, the Moon&#39;s age in days, waxing or waning, and its distance from Earth.<br>- Moonrise and moonset times for your location. Choose a city from the built-in list or type your own latitude and longitude. Your choice is saved.<br>- A scrollable month calendar that draws the phase of the Moon for every day and moves freely across past and future months.<br>- Countdowns to the next full moon and the next new moon, plus the dates of the upcoming principal phases (new, first quarter, full, last quarter).<br>- A short, useful description of every phase, and the traditional almanac name for each full moon, such as the Wolf Moon and the Harvest Moon.<br><br>HOW IT IS CALCULATED<br>Phase, illumination and the principal-phase dates come from an abridged version of the algorithms in Jean Meeus&#39;s Astronomical Algorithms. The illuminated fraction is accurate to a fraction of a percent and the phase dates to within a minute or two. Moonrise and moonset are found by tracking the Moon&#39;s altitude across the day.<br><br>WHY MOONREF<br>- Pure on-device math. No API, no internet, no GPS, no account.<br>- One purchase. No ads, no subscriptions, no tracking.<br>- Light and dark themes that follow your system.<br><br>NOTE: MoonRef is a planning tool, not a survey-grade ephemeris. Rise and set times ignore local terrain and unusual refraction. For astronomical precision, consult an official ephemeris.
