Offline astronomy · iOS

Your night sky,
carefully recorded.

Star Scribe turns a clear night into a plan you can trust: local sky calculations, observing windows, a searchable log, and a focused red-light workflow.

Target codes, equipment, eyepiece, method, weather, transparency, seeing, notes, custom fields, and up to three observation photos.

Stay night-friendly

Red-light mode, saved sites, 24-hour sky tools, magnetic compass support, and layouts that remain readable outdoors.

Apple WeatherKit

Optional weather enhancement on iOS 16+, only after you turn it on. If unavailable or over quota, Star Scribe keeps the local plan and asks you to try again later.

Honest precision

Offline planning grade, not arcsecond measurement grade. Weather, terrain, transparency, equipment, and local conditions still determine real visibility.

Private by default.

Observation records, notes, settings, saved locations, and photos remain on your device unless you explicitly export or share them. Location is requested only after your action. Online weather is optional.
