After weeks of refining, rebuilding, and wrestling with the details, I’m thrilled to announce that Our Night Sky is officially live on the App Store! You can download it right here and begin exploring the heavens with fresh eyes and a quiet heart.
This app is more than a tool; it’s a reflection of rhythm, wonder, and grace. It’s a digital sanctuary for anyone who finds peace in the stars and meaning in the movement of the cosmos.
Apple’s App Review process is famously rigorous. And rightly so, they strive for excellence, clarity, and security in every app they allow into their ecosystem. I respect that. But I’ll be honest: Our Night Sky didn’t sail through on the first try. Or the second. Or even the third.
Each rejection felt like a mirror held up to my work, revealing flaws I hadn’t seen. And each revision was a chance to grow, not just as a developer, but as a person. I learned to embrace the process, not resent it. Because perfection isn’t the goal, faithfulness is.
As I walked through this journey, I couldn’t help but reflect on a deeper truth. God, too, desires perfection, not out of harshness, but out of love. Yet He knows we fall short. That’s why we have Jesus, who bridges the gap between our imperfection and God’s holiness.
In many ways, Our Night Sky is like me: unfinished, imperfect, but accepted. Not because it’s flawless, but because it’s offered with sincerity and purpose. And now, it’s been welcomed into the App Store, just as we are welcomed into grace.
This is just the beginning. Our Night Sky is the first of many apps I plan to build under my new venture, Nagoh Creative. My mission is to craft digital experiences that feel intuitive, meaningful, and spiritually resonant.
If you want to be part of the journey and help me test new apps, offering feedback, and helping shape what comes next, you can sign up for free on the Nagoh Creative Website and join the community. I’d love to have you.
Our Night Sky is a work in progress. So am I. But both are moving forward, one iteration at a time. Thank you to everyone who’s encouraged me, prayed for me, and believed in the vision. Let’s keep looking up, there’s more to come.

Congratulations on the launch! It’s clear how much heart, persistence, and intention went into bringing the Our Night Sky app to life. Reading about the journey - the setbacks, the revisions, and the growth along the way - makes this launch feel even more meaningful. I love how you’ve turned the challenges of the process into a reflection on grace and the beauty of things (and people) that are still works in progress.
The app sounds like a sanctuary for anyone drawn to the wonder of the night sky. I can’t wait to explore it and see where this venture leads next. Wishing you continued inspiration and success as you build out Nagoh Creative and invite others along for the ride. Here’s to many more creations and to always keeping our eyes (and hearts) open to what comes next.
Hey, do you know when it is going to release on Android phones? Sorry if I keep bugging you with this.
