Carry this in your pocket
Umbro for iPhone and iPad computes these same contact times on the device, for wherever you are standing, with no signal needed — which matters, because a good many eclipses are best seen from somewhere without any. It adds a Lock Screen countdown, Home Screen widgets, a camera built for totality, and it says plainly when the Sun can and cannot be looked at.
