Description
On August 12, 2026, a total solar eclipse will cross Greenland, Iceland, and Spain, and for a few quiet minutes the sky will go dark. The Eclipse App is your companion for the whole day: an interactive map of the path of totality, a rehearsal so you know what's coming, and a live countdown that guides you second by second, from first contact to the moment your eclipse glasses come off.
▶ YOUR ECLIPSE
See exactly what the eclipse looks like from your location: whether you'll see totality, how long it lasts, how much of the Sun is covered, and when every phase begins and ends, down to the second. Outside the path? You'll see your partial eclipse times too. Preview your sky in advance, and turn on Day-of Alerts so nothing sneaks up on you.
▶ THE MAP
Explore the path of totality from Greenland across Iceland to Spain. Tap any spot on the eclipse map to see its timing, how long totality lasts there, and how far it sits from the path. Comparing two towns? The map makes the tradeoffs easy to see.
▶ SUN POSITION
In 2026, the eclipse hangs low in the sky in many places. See exactly how high the Sun will sit from your spot, and get a heads-up when hills, buildings, or trees might block the view. You can check historical cloud trends while you're at it.
▶ REHEARSAL
Practice eclipse day before it arrives, at your own pace. Walk through every phase from first contact to last, learn when glasses go on and come off, and try the camera and recorder ahead of time, so the real day feels familiar instead of frantic.
▶ LIVE COUNTDOWN
When the day comes, the eclipse countdown guides you in real time: what's happening, what to watch for, and exactly when it's safe to take your glasses off. An optional spoken audio guide keeps you hands-free. The totality countdown also stays live in your notifications, so a glance is all it takes.
▶ SNAP AND RECORD
Take a photo without leaving the countdown. Scene mode captures the strange light around you, and Sun mode helps you aim and expose for the Sun itself. Or tap Record, put your phone down, and capture the sound of totality: the hush, the gasps, the cheers.
▶ RELIVE
Afterward, press play. Your photos and recordings play back on the eclipse's own timeline, just as they happened. It's the closest thing to standing back under the Moon's shadow.
▶ GOOD TO KNOW
- Completely free. No account, no subscriptions. - Available in nine languages: English, Spanish, Catalan, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Icelandic, and Japanese. - Useful anywhere in Europe and beyond: even far from totality, you can see how much of the Sun will be covered where you are.
A note on safety: outside of totality, only look at the Sun through certified eclipse glasses or solar filters. The app tells you when, and proper glasses do the protecting.
A total solar eclipse is brief, and it doesn't wait. We built this app so you can spend those minutes looking up.

Found the app very useful in locating a sweet spot for viewing in my home state, Maine, that would maximize length of totality while minimizing drive time and crowds. Also helped encourage friends to go a little further than they planned to increase their time significantly. During the eclipse I found the countdown and progress handy, especially easily knowing how much safe naked eye time remained. Definitely worth the 3 bucks for full feature. I don't know why people except free rides. Thanks!

Worked great and was super helpful! I especially appreciated the list of phenomena to watch for during the eclipse.
★★★★★Casey Stotts· Apr 9, 2024
This app was great - having the play-by-play for the 2024 eclipse really enhanced our experience. It was worth the purchase!

Paid for the pro version but still not allowed to access even though my card was charged.
★☆☆☆☆MJ Hope· Apr 1, 2024
Doesn't work. No location except for the water and still wouldn't show you where to go
★★☆☆☆Justin DeMuro· Apr 10, 2024
The app crapped out about an hour before the eclipse. I didn't have great service where I was. I already paid for the app the night before and synced my location well in advance of the eclipse (in the location I would be viewing it). So why did it need a network connection to operate? It's just a timer based on geolocation. It wouldn't even open during critical moments. I didn't get any notifications until AFTER totality. Made the paid portion of the app nearly useless. I am disappointed.
