Sky Now Social

About this app

Don't miss the moment. Sky Now tells you when something worth stepping outside for is happening right near you — a wild sunset, a rainbow, the northern lights — spotted and shared by people around you, in real time. It can also show you sky events happening around the world. Sky Now is a crowdsourced sky-watching app built around one idea: the best moments in the sky are fleeting, and you shouldn't have to just get lucky to catch them. REAL-TIME ALERTS See sunsets, sunrises, rainbows, cloud formations, aurora, lightning, and more as they're happening nearby. Alerts only go out once at least two different people confirm the same sighting, so what reaches your notifications is always worth a look. NEVER MISS THE PREDICTABLE ONES Get advance notice for full moons, lunar and solar eclipses, meteor showers, and Sky Now's own vivid-sunset forecast, so you can actually be outside when it counts. A MAP OF WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW See sightings plotted near you, filterable by type, updating as you explore. Find epic sunset views wherever you go. A FEED WORTH SCROLLING Sort by newest, nearest, or farthest. Filter by tag. Share any moment straight to your camera roll. No ads, no endless scrolling, no algorithm fighting for your attention — just today's sky, updated daily. YOUR OWN SKY BRIEFING My Sky Today gives you a daily snapshot: tonight's sunset quality, moon phase, whether a meteor shower is peaking, and which planets are visible right now. CAPTURE & SHARE Snap a photo or pick one from your library, tag what you saw, and help others nearby catch it too. Every photo is automatically screened before it's shared. BADGES, NOT FOLLOWERS Earn recognition for being observant — Sunset Chaser, Morning Person, Globe Trotter, Keen Eye — and track your streak of days spent actually looking up. No followers, no like-counting, no algorithm to please. Just your own quiet log of moments. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Your exact location is never shown to anyone. Every post and every alert radius is geofuzzed before it's ever saved — precise enough to be useful, fuzzy enough to be safe. Sky Now works better with friends nearby — invite a few, and you'll never wonder what you missed outside again.

Momentum comes from crawler snapshots for the tracked storefront. “Viral growth signal” means unusually fast recent rating gains; it is an indicator, not download data.
