Moon

A real Moon on one key.

Not a moon icon. The actual phase, the correct terminator and NASA's near-side surface, drawn from accurate astronomy and updated quietly on one Stream Deck key. Use it with no text at all, or add exactly the lunar data you want. Offline by default; online is an optional Pro layer.

The listing is not reserved yet. Moon Lite is the free edition; the full Moon is the paid one.

The same key, moving through the modes the plugin draws

The Moon is the interface

The disc is built from a lit sphere and a terminator ellipse whose width is the cosine of the phase angle. The surface is a public-domain NASA LRO mosaic, with earthshine on the unlit side, a restrained limb and a quiet glow. Nothing is a drawing of a crescent: waxing and waning follow your hemisphere, and north-up is one setting away.

The real terminator, at new, crescent, quarter, gibbous and full.
Earthshine on the dark side, never a black rectangle over a photograph.
Waxing and waning mirrored for the observer, or north-up if you prefer.

Eight Stream Deck keys, from new moon to waning crescent, each drawn by the plugin

One key. The data you choose.

Keep the Moon alone, or add one thing at a time. Every overlay is optional, and every mode is legible at 72 by 72.

Eight Stream Deck keys showing every display mode: Moon, illumination, phase name, age, event, rise, altitude and best time

Moon only: The disc, and nothing else.
Illumination: The percentage of the visible face that is lit.
Phase name: New, waxing crescent, first quarter, and so on.
Lunar age: Days since the last new moon, not the illumination.
Next event: The next full, new or quarter moon, with a countdown.
Rise or set: The next moonrise or moonset in your local time.
Altitude: How high the Moon is, and which way to look.
Best time: MoonScan's viewing window, in the optional online mode.

The Neo Infobar, without the clutter

One horizontal surface, one headline and one secondary line. Choose an overview, the next full or new moon, the next rise or set, the best time to watch, or let it rotate quietly every 10 to 30 seconds.

Overview: the Moon, the phase, the illumination and the age.

A Neo Infobar showing the phase, illumination and lunar age — Overview: the Moon, the phase, the illumination and the age.

A Neo Infobar showing the best viewing window, score, duration and cloud cover — Best time: the window, the score and the local weather.

Best time to watch

Online is a Pro layer, and it is optional. Turn it on and MoonScan combines the Moon's altitude, the darkness and the local weather into one clear viewing window. Offline remains the default, and every key keeps working if MoonScan is unavailable.

A score, a window and the local weather, not just another phase number.
A sky-only fallback when the weather is missing, clearly labelled.
Validated responses, a bounded retry and a last-known state.
Offline makes no network request at all.

Online sends coarse coordinates, the time zone and an optional place name to moonscan.com. No account, key or identifier.

A watch key and a Neo Infobar showing tonight's best viewing window

A large Moon key beside the plugin's privacy points

Offline by default. Yours alone.

Core astronomy never needs a cloud account. Phase, illumination, age, principal phases, altitude, azimuth and rise/set are computed on your machine. The lunar surface is bundled with the plugin.

No account, no tracking, no analytics, no telemetry.
NASA / LRO / ASU surface, public domain, attributed in the plugin.
Coordinates stay in Stream Deck settings; online is opt-in.
Moon Lite is entirely offline, forever.

Two editions

Moon Lite is the free discovery; the full Moon is the useful instrument.
