Astro Planner is Growing Up: Meet Skywarden

My astrophotography planning tool is growing up. Rebranding from Astro Planner to Skywarden, the app now features deep weather integration with safety alerts, a year-ahead planning mode with calendar exports, and dedicated presets for smart telescopes. Stop guessing what to shoot and start guarding your clear skies.

@adfr “The name "Astro Planner" was functional, but it didn't really capture what the tool does for me. It’s about more than just a schedule; it’s about guarding those rare windows of clear sky. So, I’ve rebranded the project to Skywarden.“

Not to mention that another product called AstroPlanner has been around for 15 years or so.
