Phases of the Moon

Phases of the Moon is an app that places a widget with the current phase of the moon directly on your desktop. But unlike many other widgets, this one is well-designed and pretty. The moon in the widget will fit seamlessly with your background.

The widget displays the current phase of the moon, and that's it. If you tap the moon, though, you can see a lot of additional information, like the percentage of the moon's illumination, the distance of the moon from the earth in kilometers, and the zodiac sign it represents.

Phases of the Moon is a very pretty decorative app that's both elegant and subtle. It may not be the most useful app ever, but that's not what it's for.
