The Almanac
Reckonersweight 1reckoner · computes, doesn't store
Gardeners, stargazers, and people who simply like to know when the light goes: the sky runs on arithmetic, and The Almanac does it for you. It reckons the sky's schedule — the turning of the seasons and the moon's comings and goings — computed fresh in the page whenever you ask. No subscription to the heavens required; they broadcast for free, and this does the sums.
This is not a screenshot. It's the real tool, running right here — go on, put something in it.

Questions people ask
Does an almanac app need the internet to know about the moon?
Not this one — the sky is pleasingly predictable, so everything is computed right in the page from arithmetic. It is a single HTML file that runs offline, stores nothing, and never asks where you are without you telling it.
Who is The Almanac for?
Gardeners planning by the season, photographers chasing good light, amateur astronomers, and anyone who likes knowing what the moon is up to. It is the back page of the farmer's almanac, minus the horoscopes.
Is this the same as the paper farmer's almanac?
It is the reckoning part of one — the celestial arithmetic, computed on demand rather than printed a year in advance. The folk wisdom and long-range weather guesses you will have to supply yourself.
