Theday,drawnasanarc

An almanac, not a lookup

Most panchang apps do math for a default city and a default timezone, then draw you a table. The whole point of the panchangam is that it’s local — sunrise, tithi boundaries and muhurta windows all shift with where you’re standing.

MyPanchang computes the day properly for your coordinates, then spends its effort on the part apps usually skip: what the day feels like.

The day has a shape

Instead of a list of times, the day is drawn as an arc from sunrise to sunset that you can drag through. Favorable windows glow gold; quiet hours sit muted underneath. You read a day like weather, not like a ledger.

It’s the kind of interface choice that only lands when the math underneath is right — the arc is a real computation, not a decoration.

Ask it a question

Luna is the assistant built into the day — ask “is now a good time to sign a contract?” and it answers from your actual panchang, with real windows, not a horoscope paragraph.

Rotating starter prompts change with the hour, so the feature teaches itself the moment someone reaches for it.

Everywhere, quietly

The panchang follows the device: Home Screen widgets, countdowns in the Dynamic Island and on Live Activities, the day on the wrist. The same computation, re-expressed at every glance size.

That’s the design principle that runs through v6 — a precise almanac that never asks you to open it. It’s free on the App Store, with Pro, Ultra and Max tiers for the people who live in it.

Have an interface that deserves better?

We sweat the part between the math and the glance.
