Wenxing - Solar Terms & Tools

Wenxing keeps you company through the four seasons — from precise solar term moments to dynamic themes that shift with the hours, on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch.

The 24 Solar Terms

Pinpoints the exact moment each solar term begins. See the celestial signs, climate, folk customs, farming lore, and 72 pentads that belong to each term. From "the east wind thaws the ice" to "springs begin to stir," feel the year turn through 72 subtle phenological moments. Every solar term comes with a classical poem and line-by-line commentary, for a little more poetry in the way you keep time.

Themes & Motion

Several dynamic themes, woven from the imagery of the solar terms and traditional colors. The sky flows with the hours and the seasons, and the interface flows with it. Festival themes arrive right on time. Turn on Auto Theme, and the look refreshes itself at every change of term.

Traditional Tools

BaZi, Liu Yao, Zi Wei, and Tarot — professional and easy to use.

Widgets

See the solar term, three pentads, lunar date, countdown, and twelve traditional hours right on your Home Screen. The day's sky colors shift with the hours, so you can feel the moment at a glance. Wellness by the twelve hours shows the meridian that governs each hour, and what's best to do right now. Lock Screen widgets come in several styles, on both iPhone and iPad.

Apple Watch

Put the solar terms and hours on your watch face. Check the current hour, today's solar term, the governing meridian, and a countdown to the next solar term, right on your wrist. A standalone Watch app lets you see today's seasonal moment without reaching for your iPhone.

Reminders

Get a notification the instant one solar term gives way to the next. And a gentle nudge whenever a new festival theme arrives.
