Almanac

Your nightstand, your lock screen, your pocket, your voice.

• Sunset Live Activity. Countdown on your lock screen as the sun goes down. Ends after civil twilight.
• Night Mode. Automatically darkens at sunset and shifts to a mono-red palette at nautical twilight. Gentle on dark-adapted eyes.
• Celestial Bells. Vibrations and notifications at celestial moments. Choose per event, set lead times, and stay connected to the sky.
• StandBy Widgets. Three new widgets for your nightstand. The clock keeps watch while you sleep.
• Ask Siri. Ask Siri about sunrise, moonrise, golden hour, and more. The clock answers without opening.
• Today's Shape. Ask Siri to tell you about today's shape. A lyrical briefing on the character of the day.
• Settings Lock. Lock your controls so casual touches don't change your view. Long-press to edit, tap Done when finished.

Plus a redesigned Guide, dozens of polish fixes, and some improvements for edge cases around polar latitudes and location failures.

Your day has a shape.

• 24-Hour Solar Clock. The full day at a glance. Sun position, rise and set, twilight bands, all computed from your location.
• Moon Ring. Moon position, rise and set arc, and phase icon on the clock face.
• Lunar Cycle Ring. A monthly ring showing where you are in the lunar month, with cardinal phase markers.
• Year Ring. Seasonal markers and solstice/equinox positions. Watch the year turn.
• Breath Ring. Four breathing patterns — box, coherent, 4-7-8, and extended exhale. A quiet companion.
• Home Screen Widgets. Small, medium, and large widgets. The clock on your home screen, always current.
