Why this exists

We have apps for everything. Apps that remind us to drink water. Apps that notify us when the moon is full. Apps that track our cycles, our moods, our sleep, our screen time — apps that track how much time we spend on the other apps.

The moon does not need an app.
The moon has been keeping its own time for four and a half billion years.

What the moon needs — what you need — is paper. A pen. A surface that does not blink at you. A surface that holds the dream you wrote down at 3 AM, the mood you felt under Wednesday's waning gibbous, the question you asked the dark moon. Paper does not push notifications. Paper waits.

This tracker is for that kind of practice. Print it. Punch it. Slip it into your journal or onto your altar. Begin at the next new moon. Make it yours. The moon will keep the time. You only have to listen.

What One Page Looks Like

Each of the thirteen pages is structured like this — the phases drawn at the top, the dates of the threshold moments, and generous space for whatever the body of the cycle needs to say.
