How to Use moontrack: A Simple, Free Moon Phase Tracker

moontrack is a free moon phase tracker you open in your browser. No account needed, no ads. Here is everything it does and how to get the most out of it.

See tonight's moon

The home screen shows tonight's moon, rendered to match how lit it actually is right now. Under it you get the phase name in plain words (like "Almost Full"), the exact percent lit, and how many days until the next full moon. Around the big moon is the whole cycle, so you can see at a glance where tonight sits.

The calendar, two ways

Tap the Calendar tab to see the month. You can switch between two views:

• Moons view shows the moon for every day, so you can watch the phase change across the month.
• Events view is a traditional calendar that puts your notes and plans front and center, with a small moon in the corner of each day.

The full moon is highlighted so it never blends in with the days around it, and it remembers which view you prefer.

Add your own dates and notes

Tap any day to pin a note to it, a birthday, a full-moon plan, anything. Saved days show up in your "Your dates" list and right on the calendar.

Track your day with the to-do list

The To-Do tab gives you a fresh list each day. Add tasks, check them off (they drop into a "Done" stack at the bottom), and see how many you finished today. If you left things unfinished yesterday, one tap carries them over.

Make an account to sync

If you want your calendar and notes on more than one device, create a free account with a username and password. Everything syncs automatically. If you skip it, your data still saves right on your device.

Add it to your home screen

Because moontrack runs in your browser, you can add it to your phone's home screen and it opens like an app, always on the latest version. On iPhone, open it in Safari, tap Share, then "Add to Home Screen."
