Compare the solunar outlook before your trip

A 1–5 daily fish rating brings the app's solunar estimate into one view. Compare days and predicted windows, then use weather, water conditions and local knowledge to choose your plan. A rating is not a guarantee of a catch.

🌙

Major & Minor Windows

2-hour major windows on moon transit and anti-transit, plus 1-hour minor windows on moonrise and moonset.

Core Forecasts Work Offline

Solunar ratings, windows, moon data and calendars are calculated on your device. Optional live weather and ads require internet.

A practical guide to solunar windows

Solunar theory relates potential activity windows to the position of the sun and moon. The app calculates major windows around moon transit and anti-transit, and minor windows around moonrise and moonset. Its daily rating combines moon phase, lunar distance, dawn overlap and moon visibility.

Use these estimates to plan a session for your location and date. Fish behaviour varies, and neither a high rating nor a major window guarantees fish activity or a catch.

⏰

24-hour visual timeline

Compare predicted windows with sunrise and sunset. The best-window indicator highlights a solunar window using dawn and dusk overlap.

Free for today, Pro for planning ahead

Free gives you everything you need for today — the daily rating, all four feeding windows, the timeline, and moon phase data including illumination percentage and days to the next full or new moon.

Solunar Fishing Pro unlocks a 30-day calendar to plan trips weeks in advance, home screen and lock screen widgets, unlimited saved locations, and notification customisation. Pro is a monthly or annual subscription, and existing one-time Pro purchasers keep lifetime access after restoring.

For anglers who plan around the bite

Whether you fish a quiet lake, head offshore or fit a session around work, Solunar helps you compare potential windows before you leave. Check the daily rating, review the timeline and choose a session that fits your day and local conditions.

Core solunar calculations run locally, so ratings, windows, moon data and calendars remain available away from a connection. Live weather uses Apple Weather and needs internet; ads, purchases and restoring Pro access also use online services. Tide predictions are currently unavailable.

Frequently asked questions

What is solunar theory?

Solunar theory is a planning method that relates potential activity windows to the position of the sun and moon. Major windows are based on moon transit and anti-transit; minor windows are based on moonrise and moonset. They are estimates, not guarantees of fish activity or catches.

Does it work without internet?

Core solunar ratings, feeding windows, moon data and calendars are calculated on your device and remain available offline. Optional live weather and ads require internet. Purchases and restoring Pro access also require a connection.

What does the 1–5 fish rating mean?

The 1–5 fish rating summarises the app's solunar estimate using moon phase, lunar distance, dawn overlap and moon visibility. Use it alongside weather, water conditions and local knowledge; it does not guarantee a catch.

What are major and minor feeding windows?

Major windows are 2-hour solunar periods centered on moon transit and anti-transit; minor windows are 1-hour periods centered on moonrise and moonset. The timeline helps you compare these predicted windows with sunrise and sunset.

What does Solunar Fishing Pro add?

A 30-day calendar, home and lock screen widgets, unlimited saved locations, and notification customisation. Pro is monthly or annual, and existing one-time purchasers keep lifetime access after restoring.

Is my location private?

Your location is used for on-device solunar calculations. When you use live weather, Apple Weather receives the location needed to return conditions. No account is required. Core solunar forecasts work offline.
