Witchcraft may be as old as time, but that doesn’t mean it can’t move with the times. There is now a huge selection of apps that can be utilized into your craft, from ones that identify crystals and plants, to apps that notify you of the changing moon phases. We’ve handpicked the best ones we could forge to assist you with all your witching desires.
My Moon Phase
We won’t give you points for guessing what this app’s function is. But we will tell you: with My Moon Phase, you can get highly accurate information about the moon’s phases, along with its distance, age, altitude, and astrological sign. You can even view the day’s sun – and moon – rise and sets. This app is ideal for timing your spells around the lunar cycle, or for when you need to charge your crystals and other tools under the full moon.

Stone
Stone is an excellent app that clearly explains the meanings and purposes behind hundreds of crystals and stones. It’s great for your practice as you can search by name for a specific stone, but you can also search by ‘vibe’, including clarity, grounding, insight, and protection.

Oak
Meditation and visualisation are essential parts of spellcasting, as it helps us to focus on the energy, or magick, within us. And with intent also fuelling it, this energy can be essentially charged into anything we need assistance on. It can be difficult for a lot of people at first, but it’s certainly something you get better at, through time and effort. There are a huge selection of meditation apps available, but with Oak, it’s free forever.

PlantNet
Plant identification apps are a fairly saturated market, but PlantNet is one of the best. Take a picture of a plant and it will tell you what you’re looking at, as well as being able to look at what other users have already found. This is perfect not only for working with plants and herbs, but also as an accompaniment when you’re on a walk and see a gorgeous flower.
The Pattern
This app provides frequent updates on cosmic events such as retrogrades and other astrological changes. After logging in your birth details, you are given a full chart, with scarily accurate and personalised insights. And as a bonus, you can snoop on your friends’ charts. It also has a space for you to connect with others through daily discussions on thought-provoking questions. This is the ideal app for all our cosmic witches, and for anyone interested in how the planets and stars affect us.
