XFoto - Photo Planner

TIMeXfoto: everything you need for the perfect shot — in one app, working fully offline.

A photography planner built by a photographer, for landscape, seascape and night-sky shooters. Every tool keeps working deep in the mountains or abroad with no signal.

■ MILKY WAY PLANNER

- Tonight's shootable window, computed from astronomical darkness, galactic-core altitude and the moon

- Capture the declination of wherever your camera points, via compass

■ SUN, MOON & MILKY WAY AR

- Real positions of the sun, moon, Milky Way and bright stars overlaid on your camera view
