Built for the shot, not the spreadsheet

Know when the light is good

Golden hour, blue hour, sunrise and sunset for today, with a countdown to the next change. Every time is shown in the local time of the place you are looking at.

See which way to shoot

Sun and moon direction lines on the map. Drag the time slider and watch them move, then drop a pin anywhere to plan the light there.

Hold it up to the sky

The AR view draws the sun and moon paths over your camera, so you can see where the sun will be behind the building before you set up.

Plan any place, any date

Search a city or landmark, save your favourite spots and check next month's sunset before you book the trip.

Clear from day one

No jargon without an explanation. A built-in guide explains every term, from civil twilight to azimuth.

Private by design

Everything is calculated on your iPhone. No account, no tracking, no data collected.
