Space Collector

Hold your phone up to the sky and collect what's really there: the Space Station, Starlink trains, the planets and the stars. New missions every night. Free, no ads.

Go outside, hold your phone up to the sky, and find out what's really up there. Put a light in the circle, tap Collect, and it's yours: a trading card for a real satellite, planet or star.

No telescope. No experience. No account.

WHAT YOU CAN COLLECT • The Space Station, Hubble and China's space station • Weather satellites, Cold War relics and rocket stages from the 1960s • Starlink trains: a line of new satellites crossing the sky • The Moon, the Sun and the 8 planets • About 740 stars in all 88 constellations • Galaxies, star clusters and nebulas, like Andromeda and the Pleiades • Comets, when one is bright enough to see

Nearly 5,000 satellites and rocket stages have a card. The app draws each one where it really is right now, worked out from its real orbit.

EVERY CARD IS REAL Each card has real numbers (when it launched, who launched it, how high it flies) and one true fact. Rarity is how hard something is to see, never what it costs. Cards are never for sale.

Catch the same thing on different nights and its card goes up from bronze to silver to gold.

SEND CARDS TO A FRIEND Caught something good? Pick single cards or whole nights and share them as a link. On your friend's phone they arrive as a booster pack: tear it open, turn over the best ones, and every card joins their collection. Yours stay with you. Good for a kid who missed the pass, or a friend in another city. No account, nothing to set up.

SHINY CARDS Some moments are lucky. Catch a satellite as it fades into Earth's shadow, as it passes right beside the Moon, as it goes straight over your head, or in its first month after launch, and you get a shiny card. A full Moon makes a shiny Moon.

KNOW WHEN TO LOOK UP The Tonight page shows when it gets dark, the best thing to catch next (with a countdown), everything that crosses your sky tonight, the busiest moment, and how cloudy each part of the night will be. Turn on a reminder and your phone tells you when to step outside.

SOMETHING NEW EVERY NIGHT • 3 new missions every night • A new theme every Monday • Sky events: the Moon next to a planet, supermoons, lunar eclipses and meteor showers • More than 180 patches to earn, and ranks from Stargazer to Voyager • Finish each constellation, one star at a time • A weekly recap with your best new find, ready to share

SECRETS Some things in the sky stay hidden until you point at just the right spot at night. A few only come once a year. One is under your feet.

HANDY TOUCHES • Works by day: catch the Sun and the Moon, and see where tonight's satellites will cross • Not sure what that light is? If it's a plane, the app tells you, with its route • Red night mode keeps your eyes used to the dark

FREE. NO ADS. NO LOOT BOXES. Every card, every mission and every patch you earn by playing is free. No energy bars, no limit on how much you catch.

SPACE COLLECTOR PLUS (optional) Everything above is free. Plus adds a few extras: • Reminders for any satellite you choose (Space Station, until-dark and clear-night reminders are always free) • Alerts on clear nights: before a hard-to-find card you don't have yet goes over, and before a Starlink train • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets • See which satellites tonight could give you a shiny card • Every card back design • A patch only members get Pay monthly, yearly (the first 7 days are free for new subscribers) or once to keep it for good. Works with Family Sharing.

Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel them in your Apple Account settings.

PRIVACY No account. No tracking. Your location is used to work out your sky, the weather and the planes nearby. Cards you share carry where you saw them, rounded to about 10 km; the pack stays on our server for 90 days so the link works, then it is deleted.
