Ephemeris feed

The feed page now displays an interactable list of upcoming transits. Select a row to see your attached codex entries. This should make it a lot easier to interact with relevant entries.

A note on writing codex entries

Right now, our focus in development is to prove out the note-taking infrastructure. The ephemeris feed seems to be a good way to do that!

The idea behind Kairōs is that it gives astrologers a shared space to talk about transits in the sky. For example, the Virgo Lunar Eclipse is happening tonight! If social features were functional, you'd be able to sort/filter posts by this transit.

More broadly, the goal is to assemble a collective dictionary made up by:

• Off-the-cusp thoughts
• Memes
• Academic essays
• Personal anecdotes
• Intuitive messages
• etc.

So, keep this in mind while you write. Your content is PRIVATE by DEFAULT—but down the road, you will have the option to contribute to the dictionary.

Getting used to tab navigation

In v2.0.0 we added tabs, which presents a completely new direction in the UI.

Kairōs was originally developed around the chart. It was meant to be a pro-tool. You'd be able to quickly navigate the sky in ways not accessible by other mobile apps.

However, over the course of development we've realized that the real opportunity here isn't the tool—it's that we can use the planets as connecting points between people. If I want to learn more about my natal chart, I can click on a placement and see what people are saying about it.

As such, we are restructuring the app to focus MORE on content/writing, with the chart tool taking more of a backseat.

We're still in beta

If the UI confuses you, I want to know! There's a lot going on, and we are still in the exploratory phase. Again, our goal right now is to nail the note-taking features (as we workshop how the social features will work). It will take time—but as a Saturn-ruled person, I'm here for it (lol)

Btw, if you know anything about the fediverse or ATproto—PLEASE let me know. I would love to get your input!

Anyways, that's about it for these release notes! Thanks for checking out the beta. There is much to do, and it's an exciting time in the sky to do it :)

AT Protocol Accounts

Kairos accounts are now built on the AT Protocol — the same open network behind Bluesky. When you create a Kairos account, you get a real identity on the decentralized web:

• Your handle — @yourname.kairos.solar — is yours across the AT Protocol network
• Your identity is portable — it's not locked to Kairos or any single service
• No third-party login required — no Google, no Apple, just your email and password

This is the foundation for social features coming soon — following astrologers, sharing charts, and building a community around the practice.

If you had an account before v2.0.0, you'll need to create a new one. Your locally saved charts and codex entries are unaffected — they live on your device.

Your new account gives you:

• A profile with your handle and optional bio
• Beta tester status — claim it from your profile to mark yourself as an early supporter
• Account deletion — full removal of your data, with password confirmation for safety
• Sign out everywhere — logs you out of all devices at once

Why the AT Protocol?

Most apps lock your identity inside their walls. If you leave, your username, your connections, and your content stay behind.

The AT Protocol is different. Your identity is a decentralized identifier (DID) that you control. Today, your Kairos handle lives at kairos.solar. In the future, federation will let you interact with other apps and services on the network — all under the same identity.

We chose this path because astrologers deserve an open platform, not another walled garden.

New Navigation

The app has been reorganized around four main tabs — Chart, Codex, Activity, and Account — with a bottom navigation bar that keeps everything one tap away.

• Center capture button — the "+" button between the tabs opens a quick-capture menu for creating notes, entries, and charts without leaving your current view
• Smoother flows — creating and editing charts, browsing saved charts, and changing display settings now open as sheets and overlays that layer cleanly on top of each other
• Consistent structure — settings, tips, release notes, and feedback all open as full-screen panels with a uniform navigation feel

The Codex

The Codex is your personal astrology reference library — a place to record interpretations, keywords, and insights linked to specific astrological configurations.

Grimoire

The default Codex view shows your collection at a glance: summary cards, recent entries, and a tabbed interface for browsing Entries and Daily Notes.

Configurations

Every entry is linked to one or more astrological configurations, organized into three categories:

• Placements — any combination of body, sign, and house. Notes on "Sun in Aries," "7th House," or just "Saturn" all work.
• Aspects — relationships between two bodies, with optional sign context for each. "Sun in Aries trine Moon in Leo" or just "Sun trine Moon."
• Lunar Phases — moon phases and eclipses, with optional sign and house placement.

Entries

Two types of content:

• Keywords — short-form tags (up to 100 characters) displayed inline
• Notes — long-form interpretations (up to 10,000 characters) for detailed write-ups

Search

The Codex search is powered by the Rust calculation engine:

• Empty search shows live transits — current planetary positions and active aspects in real time
• Text search finds entries and configurations with ranked results
• Natural language — type something like "moon leo 4th" and the search understands you're looking for Moon in Leo in the 4th House

Daily Notes

A date-based journal for tracking daily observations. Accessible from the Grimoire tab or through the capture menu.

Time Stepping

• Rebuilt from Scratch: The aspect and motion steppers have been completely rewritten with a new state machine architecture. This fixes several timing issues that could cause the stepper to get out of sync with the chart.
• Correct Animation Direction: Fixed an issue where the timeline would animate in the wrong direction when stepping backward.
• Filter Sync: When you change motion filters (stations, ingresses, etc.), the stepper now correctly updates its event count and maintains your position.
• Lunar Nodes/Lilith: Added rahu/ketu labeling options, and implemented motion trees for true/mean nodes and lilith. (You can now step to their ingresses, stations, and aspects.)
• Faster Stepping: Previously, we gated fast stepping to reduce bugs due to animations. We updated the state machine to make it feel much more responsive.

Codex

• Simplified Organization: The Codex now uses 3 intuitive tabs—Placements, Aspects, and Lunar—instead of 7 separate configuration types.
• Flexible Placements: Create entries for any combination of body, sign, and house. Want notes on just "Aries" or "1st House"? Now you can.
• Aspect Signs: Optionally specify signs for both bodies in an aspect entry, like "Sun in Aries trine Moon in Leo."
• Eclipses: Solar and lunar eclipses are now part of the Lunar tab alongside moon phases.

Tags

• Autocomplete: When adding tags to a chart, a dropdown now shows existing tags sorted by usage. Type to filter, or tap to select. This makes it easier to reuse tags consistently across charts.
• Improved Touch Targets: Tag chips and suggestion rows are now easier to tap, with larger padding and full-chip tap targets for removal.
• Unified Tag Row: System and user tags now display together in a single wrapping row, with the input field on its own line below.
• Tinted Color Scheme: Added an alternate tinted color scheme for hue-colored tags.

Performance

• Smarter Memory Management: Kairos now uses significantly less memory in the background, which means iOS is far less likely to close it while you're in another app. Switching back should feel instant instead of showing a loading screen.
• Faster Launch: Motion tree data now loads on-demand rather than all at once during startup, shaving a couple seconds off launch time.

Bug Fixes

• Race Condition Fixes: Fixed multiple race conditions that could occur when rapidly stepping or when the origin time changed during animation.
• Pluto Ingress Stepping: Fixed an issue where stepping through Pluto ingresses would freeze the app. The backend now efficiently fetches only the event types needed (stations or ingresses) and extends coverage appropriately for slow-moving planets.
• Marking Menu Configuration: Fixed drag positioning when customizing marking menu actions. Dragged items now appear directly under your finger instead of offset to the side.
• Marking Menu Styling: Added background blur to the marking menu for improved visual clarity.
• Saved Charts Filtering: Simplified the tag filtering interface in saved charts.
• Time Stepper: Now retains the step amt after selecting/deselecting planets.
• Screenshots: Fixed an issue where screenshots would use the wrong color scheme if you changed light/dark mode while the app was open.

Accounts: Claim beta-tester status

👤 You can now sign up for a Kairōs account! They are currently very bare-bones—just username, email, password. If you would like your account to be recognized as a beta-tester, make sure you press the claim button.

UX Improvements

💡Tips and Tricks: Kairōs has many powerful features that may not be obvious at first glance. One FAQ is: "How do I quickly load the current transits?" Hint: Sidebar → Lightbulb → Chart Management

🎨 Display Profiles: Thanks to helpful feedback, we made some big improvements to the display profiles UI**.** Some settings were moved around, removed, and added. We refreshed the defaults; I'd highly recommend trying them out via Settings → Restore Default Display Profiles.

🧭 Aspect Steppers: We also made the motion/aspect steppers much more robust. Try selecting a planet or two; you'll be able to easily step between aspects, ingress points, and stations.

✨Star Library: We have streamlined fixed star selection into the Star Library. To see them, add the "Fixed Stars" ring to your chosen display profile.

🗺️ Overlap Prevention: Improved the overlap detection algorithm. For extremely dense situations, you may need to decrease planet glyph size in Display > Layout > Planet Ring(s).

📱iPad Support: The app now renders correctly on iPad, taking advantage of the larger screen while maintaining proper proportions.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed canvas panning; when zoomed in, you can now see all edges of the canvas
• Fixed a case where the time stepper could keep running after releasing the button
• Fixed dialog placement on the Backup & Restore page
• Someone pointed out that there was "Fortune", "Spirit", and "Lot of Eros". lol, fixed
• Minor fixes

Improvements

• Planet speed display in data sheets showing motion in degrees/day
• Faster time stepper repeat — hold-to-repeat now ramps up in 0.5s instead of 1s
• Chart deduplication to prevent duplicate entries
• Dynamic sheet sizing based on content
• Various bug fixes and stability improvements

Major improvements to make aspect stepping far more reliable. Plus automatic backups and accessibility enhancements. Gearing up for launch this week... fingers crossed!

Improvements

• Timeline Navigation: When stepping through aspects or motion events, the timeline now shows markers for your starting position (entry point) and chart origin. Double-tap to return to origin.
• Station Icons: Redesigned station direct and retrograde icons for better clarity.
• Selection Highlighting: Added configurable options for highlighting related chart elements when a planet is selected—aspected planets, conjunct fixed stars, and rulership planets. Adjust opacity and toggle features in Display Profile settings.
• Automatic Backups: The app now creates automatic backups of your charts and display profiles during launch. Two rotating backup slots are maintained as a safety net. Access them from Settings → Backup & Restore.
• Onboarding Flow: New users are now greeted with an interactive tutorial showcasing key features—aspect stepping, time control, display profiles, and chart management. Replay anytime from Settings → Help & Tips.
• Coordinate Entry: Added a way to manually enter coordinate location, if the atlas doesn't have your city loaded.

Accessibility

• VoiceOver Support: Added labels to header buttons, navigation controls, and action buttons throughout the app.
• Touch Targets: Increased tap target sizes to meet accessibility guidelines for toasts, chart row actions, and color pickers.

Bug Fixes

• Moon Aspect Accuracy: Fixed an issue where Moon aspects could be skipped during aspect stepping. The underlying cause was overly strict timing validation that didn't account for the Moon's high speed (~13°/day). Aspects are now detected reliably regardless of celestial body speed. They make take longer to load; this is a performance issue we will fix in a future release.
• Motion Filter Pills: Fixed an issue where filtering to "Stations" or "Ingress" only wouldn't load additional events. The stepper now correctly fetches more data when filtered events are sparse.
• Filtered Event Display: When stepping to an event and then applying a filter that hides it, the timeline now shows a time marker instead of becoming unresponsive. Navigation to visible events continues to work.
• House/Zodiac System Actions: Fixed marking menu actions for changing house system and zodiac system to correctly affect the innermost ring instead of the outermost ring.

Accessibility improvements and a useful new filter option.

New Features

• Reduced Motion Support: The app now respects the iOS "Reduce Motion" accessibility setting. Animations are disabled or simplified for users with vestibular disorders. (You can also test this via a toggle in Settings without changing system settings.)
• Inter Aspects Only: New toggle in aspect settings to hide intra-chart aspects when viewing multiple rings. Helps focus on cross-chart relationships. (Select both endpoints to temporarily see a specific intra-chart aspect.)

Improvements

• Star Library is more interactive. There is a known issue where there is a delay when you tap on a star to see the datasheet; I'll figure it out later.
• Fixed scroll behavior when switching between chart configurations
• Stability improvements and safer error handling throughout the app x

I really wanted to see Algol in my chart, so I decided it was time to implement a star library. Here's how it works:

1. Go to the Star Library tab in the sidebar
2. Add/remove the stars you want the app to calculate
3. Go to the Display page, choose your profile, and select the Layout tab
4. Add the Fixed Star ring by pressing edit, then "Add Ring"
5. In the Fixed Star ring, toggle the visibility of the stars you added

Try tapping a star! You'll see an indicator with the name and position. Press the indicator to see a datasheet with more information.

Other Improvements

• New toggle to filter inter/intra-chart aspects (inter = between rings; intra = within the same ring)

In order to make aspect stepping fast, the app has to build a dataset of planetary movements. The intention was to build this dataset once, during first launch. However, there was a bug with how the dataset was saved, which meant the app had to rebuild it on every subsequent launch.

I thought I had fixed this before, but I guess not. Shouldn't be a problem anymore! Hopefully this is the last hotfix for now. Please reach out if you find any more bugs. Thanks for your patience as I iron out this beta!

Fixed: Charts Not Displaying on Fresh Installs

There was a major bug where users who installed the app for the first time couldn't see their charts. The chart wheel would appear blank because display profile data wasn't being initialized correctly.

What happened: When v1.2.6 added automatic profile repair for users upgrading from older versions, it inadvertently broke the initialization flow for brand new installs. Profiles were created but their ring configuration data wasn't being stored in the expected format.

Who was affected: Only users who installed v1.2.6 or v1.2.7 as their first version of the app. Users who upgraded from earlier versions were not affected.

The fix: Fresh installs now properly initialize display profiles, ensuring charts render correctly from the first launch.

If you're still having trouble:

1. Go into settings
2. Tap the masthead at the bottom 7x to enable developer mode
3. Press the "Reset All" button in the Display Profiles section

Performance Improvements

• Fixed app freezing when searching for aspects
• App launch time reduced by ~15 seconds on subsequent opens
• Major improvement to aspect search speed
• Faster iCloud synchronization

Fixed a bug where users upgrading from earlier versions couldn't load their display profiles. Previously this required deleting and reinstalling the app—v1.2.6 now handles this automatically by detecting corrupted profiles and resetting them to defaults.

New: Chart Node Interactions

After selecting a node on the chart, you can tap the indicator that appears to see more data about that node. For example, you might want to see more info about decans, lunar mansions, etc.

The datasheets are currently empty! Super down to hear your ideas about what could go in here.

Other Updates

• Extended search ranges for outer planets—you can now find aspects spanning centuries
• Fixed screenshot dimensions
• Added developer mode

Fixes for display profiles and improvements to saved charts filtering.

Improvements

Saved Charts Filtering & Sorting

• Sort menu in filter bar: name, date, or recently accessed
• Active sort shows checkmark indicator
• Search bar persists when search text exists
• Improved animations for filter transitions

Display Profiles

• UI fixes for new/delete/save flows
• Cleaned up user settings

Bug Fixes

• Fixed bug preventing creation of new display profiles
• Fixed scroll interference while using the time stepper
• Fixed tags not updating after editing chart type
• Fixed chart swapping issue
• Fixed various navigation issues

Small improvements to planet and star selection.

New Features

• New settings to control selection styling

Improvements

• Improved planet/star selection behavior

Polish pass on filtering and display profiles.

New Features

• Helpful tips throughout the app to guide new users

Improvements

• Improved saved charts filtering UX
• Visual design cleanup

Bug Fixes

• Fixed motion stepper precision
• Display profile bug fixes

This patch focuses on groundwork for the upcoming Codex feature. There's still much to be done, but my goal is App Store launch when the Sun and Mercury conjoin in Aquarius. Lots to do and not much time, so let's hope for the best!

Note: Display Profiles are still a bit wonky. We may need another revamp, which might mean losing custom settings. Reach out if you need to preserve yours—I can figure out a migration.

New Features

• Scrollable sections in the chart view
• Position list: see all positions listed out (per-ring, for now)
• Text color option in display profiles
• Aspect stepping now works with asteroids

Improvements

• New physics engine for better zoom/pan interactions
• Improved motion/aspect stepper visuals

I gave the app a pretty substantial facelift across the board, so the UX should hopefully be vastly improved. Notably, there is now a search bar for saved charts! Woo-hoo!

Most of this patch is focused on finishing up display profiles. You now have the ability to mix-and-match rings, and edit them individually. Try heading over to the Layout tab in the Display page.

Chart Layouts

The Layout tab now shows how many charts are loaded, indicating which configuration you're editing.

Any changes made in the Layout tab will ONLY apply to that specific configuration (1-ring, 2-ring, or 3-ring). This means setting up your own profiles takes a bit more work—but the trade-off for fine-tuned control is worth it. Hopefully, it's a one-and-done.

Changes to a planets ring will ONLY affect that ring. This is useful if, for example, you want the inner planets ring to anchor at the outer edge and the outer ring to anchor at the inner edge. There's an "Apply to all" button to make editing easier.

New Ring Types

• Cusps
• Rulers
• Decans
• Lunar mansions
• Fixed stars (moved out of the planets ring to reduce clutter)
• Terms

If you have requests for other ring types, please use the feedback button in the sidebar!

Other New Features

• Search bar for saved charts
• Region filtering in location finder
• Zodiac/retrograde glyphs in planets ring settings
• Lot of Eros
• Rotation actions in orientation lock's marking menu
• "Switch system" marking menu action (applies to outermost ring)
• Toast notifications when hiding planets

Improvements

• Display profile editing UX vastly improved
• Default sort changed to most recently accessed
• Stepper styles cleaned up

Bug Fixes

• Fixed tag colors
• Fixed day/night calculations for the lots
• Fixed creating new profile after editing

---

I'm pretty happy with how things are progressing. Hoping to officially launch in January! Let me know if:

• (A) You have any feature requests
• (B) You run into any bugs or clunky UI
• (C) You have ideas for a launch election (I would LOVE to know, haha)

This update introduces display profiles: a more comprehensive system for managing chart style. You can access them with the same settings button, or in the display page.

We've generated three default profiles for you, which can be quickly switched using the marking menu on the display button. Try pressing, holding, and dragging your finger to the option! You can edit these defaults, or create new ones as you wish.

New Features

• Display Profiles: Save and switch between different chart styles
• Import/Export: Backup and restore your charts
• New marking menu actions: Set display profile, cast horary, load chart
• Hide planets with tap-and-hold
• Tap-and-hold to change tag colors

Improvements

• Saved charts UI polished—sort by name or date
• Chart row menu (three dots) now functional
• Saved 180MB by removing satellite asteroids (e.g. around Saturn)
• Marking menu settings page improved

IMPORTANT: Please backup your charts before updating to v1.2.0!

We're migrating to a new database format to make the app significantly more performant. Save your charts to iCloud before upgrading. (The files may not appear in the Files app, but the backup is working.)

Coming in v1.2.0

A massive overhaul to the display settings system. Rather than constantly changing settings in the Charts page (feedback says it feels clunky—and I agree), we're adding a live editor that lets you save display profiles you can quickly load. Stay tuned!

Polish pass on zoom and navigation.

Improvements

• Tap to zoom
• Panning inertia for smoother navigation
• More room when panning zoomed-in charts
• Better date formatting on small screens

Bug Fixes

• Fixed sheets automatically closing after opening
• Fixed navigation issues on create/edit chart pages

Mix of fixes and small improvements.

New Features

• Edit live transit charts
• New setting to show/hide separating and out-of-sign aspects
• Screenshots now auto-save to camera roll

Improvements

• With multiple planets selected, you can now see all the aspects they make—not just the ones between them
• Screenshots correctly show selected bodies

Bug Fixes

• Location selector now closes after selection
• Fixed Part of Fortune and Lot of Spirit swapping for day/night charts (you may need to regenerate affected charts)
• Fixed aspects to South Node not rendering

Marking menus are like, my favorite UX pattern right now. You can now customize their options in settings—more capabilities coming in future updates.

New Features

• Marking menu customization in settings
• Added Eros on request <3

Improvements

• Better zoom gestures

This update introduces a few new features, and sets the groundwork for further improvements to the user experience.

Zoom & Pan

You can now use two-finger pinch/drag to zoom in on the chart! This should make it easier to see what's going on. It's a little finicky around the edges—I'll polish it up as we get closer to launch.

Screenshots

Press the camera button to generate a screenshot with your current chart and styling. One of the main philosophies behind Kairōs is that sharing your research is just as important as conducting it. Being able to share charts is an important step toward that goal! Further work on display presets will let you configure screenshots even further.

Custom Tags

There are two types of tags: system-generated and user-generated. System tags are applied via chart type or favorites. User tags can be managed while creating, editing, and viewing charts.

Marking Menus

Marking menus make it much faster to interact with the app. Tap, hold, then drag your finger to the relevant slot. Currently only "Add Chart" is implemented—more actions coming soon.

Other Improvements

• Swap between time stepper and aspect stepper
• New detailed/simple view setting for active charts

Bug Fixes

• Fixed "current transits" charts accidentally getting saved. Sorry if your list got clogged! You can delete them by swiping left on rows.
• Fixed crash when deleting an active chart

Small polish pass based on early feedback.

Improvements

• Performance and aspect accuracy improvements
• Planet selection now works one at a time (clearer interaction)
• Toggle planet visibility by inner/outer ring
• Smoother chart creation flow

Two important fixes:

iOS 17 Support

The app now runs on iOS 17+. Previously it required a newer iOS version, which limited who could use it.

Expanded Aspect Search

Aspect stepping now works beyond the 2020–2030 range. Search for aspects across a much wider timespan.

Thank you everyone for your feedback so far! It's insane that people are using this now, lol. Your input has been very helpful already 🙏

New Features

• Single planet stepping: Step to the next ingress or station
• Cross-ring aspect stepping: Find aspects between charts
• Sidereal calculations: Switch between tropical and sidereal
• Black Moon Lilith: Now available as a body
• Haptic feedback when tapping planets

Bug Fixes

• Fixed temporary charts accidentally getting saved
• Fixed sidebar sometimes opening when using the time stepper
• Fixed vertex/spirit/fortune calculations (I think)

Known Issues

Aspect stepping between outer planets is buggy - fix coming soon.

Welcome to Kairos! I hope you'll find this tool useful. This beta is intended to generate as much feedback as possible. I want to know:

• What's working well
• What needs to be improved
• What features should be added

If you encounter any problems/bugs/etc., you can either use the feedback form (in the sidebar), or let me know directly. Low effort feedback is perfectly fine <3

What Kairos Is For

Besides better UX, I want Kairos to be really good for research. This means:

• Studying long-term cycles
• Stepping through past/future aspects
• Loading charts flexibly
• In the future: notetaking (the Codex)

Roadmap

To prepare for launch, I will be focusing on fleshing out the current features:

• Inter-chart aspects
• Aspects to angles/asteroids/fixed stars
• Fix asteroid/star glyphs
• Add more asteroids/fixed stars
• Better preset management
• Sidereal (this is v complicated)
• Tagging system
• Chart zoom for ppl who have bad eyes like me
• Single planet stepping (to stations + ingresses) Note: your feedback will determine what gets prioritized.

The Vision

• Screenshots
• Graph: Isolate specific cycles for study (e.g., the outer minor grand trine, ingresses, retrogrades, etc.)
• Codex: Add notes to specific configurations; e.g. historical events, personal experiences, etc.
• Blogging: Share your codex notes w/ other ppl
• Device ports: Basically, building a Mac client. I would love to make this available for Android/Windows, but I don't have the means atm.

Desired Feedback

• Performance: Is it laggy? Does it take up too much space? Are you running into bugs?
• User experience: How comfortable does it feel? Are there any features that feel particularly clunky?
• Legibility: How easy is it to see what's going on in a chart? Can styling be improved?
• Important features: What are the most important tools/techniques in your practice? (e.g. profections)

Support Development

If you like the project, and believe it could replace your current tools, I would really appreciate your support! I have big plans for this app, and it would mean the world to me if I had the means to keep working on it.

Thanks again :)

Excited to hear what you think!
