Sunlight

In development

Sunlight is a planned iPhone app for tracking daylight: sunrise, sunset, and the golden and blue hours in between. It is still in development, and this page describes what it is meant to do.

Who it's for

It is for photographers planning a shoot around the golden hour, runners and dog walkers picking a bright hour for a walk, and anyone chasing daylight through a short winter day. If you have ever checked the sky and wondered how much light is left, this is built for that question.

Why

Daylight is easy to lose track of, especially in winter when the good hours pass quickly. Sunlight is meant to put the useful times in one place, so you can plan around the light instead of checking the sky and hoping. It is a small, focused tool for one question: when is the light good today.

What it will do

  • Sun times show sunrise and sunset for your location, at a glance.
  • Golden and blue hours marked clearly, so the good light is never a guess.
  • Day timeline lays out the day so you can see when the light happens and plan around it.
