Sun Path & Golden Hour Tracker

Sun Path shows where the sun and moon are, and when the light is right, for any day and any place. Plan a photo, check how much sun a house, a balcony or a solar panel gets, find the Milky Way tonight, or just know how long until sunset.

THE WHOLE DAY AT A GLANCE
• A 24-hour light dial: night, twilight, blue hour, golden hour and daylight in colour, with the sun and moon on it
• A countdown to the next moment that matters: "Golden hour in 42 min"
• Sunrise, sunset, solar noon, civil, nautical and astronomical twilight, golden and blue hour, day length, each with its direction (azimuth and compass point)
• Tap "?" next to any term for a plain explanation

ANY DATE, ANY PLACE, FREE
Swipe to another day, pick a date or jump to a solstice or equinox in one tap. Use your location, search 34,000 cities offline, type coordinates or paste a Google Maps link. Every place keeps its own time zone.

SUN TRACKER IN THE CAMERA (AR)
Hold up your phone: the sun's path is drawn on the sky with every hour marked, the sun and moon where they are. Drag the time bar, or step by 1 or 10 minutes.

A COMPASS YOU CAN TRUST
Phone compasses are often several degrees off. Sun Path checks the magnetic field against the World Magnetic Model, says plainly when the compass is disturbed, and lets you line the view up with the sun or moon in one tap, or correct it by half a degree.

HOMES, GARDENS AND SOLAR PANELS
• Sun on a wall, window, roof or solar panel: point the phone at it and see how many hours of direct sun it gets, and when
• Which side of a house or flat gets morning or afternoon sun, in summer and in winter
• A sun compass with the solstice and equinox paths
• The sun's height and angle through the day, and every hour's shadow length and direction, in metres or feet
• A month-by-month table of sunrise, sunset and golden hour

MOON, STARS AND ECLIPSES
• Moon phase, moonrise, moonset, distance, perigee and apogee, and a moon calendar with every phase and supermoon
• When the Milky Way core is up in a dark sky tonight, and where to look
• The next solar or lunar eclipse you can see from your place, checked against NASA's eclipse tables

WORKS OFFLINE
All times, the compass and the camera work with no connection. Only the map needs one. No account, no tracking.

GOOD TO KNOW
• Times are computed on your phone from published astronomical formulas and checked against NASA JPL Horizons: sunrise and sunset to about a minute. Hills, buildings and weather change what you see.
• Never look at the sun directly, through a camera, or at an eclipse without certified eclipse glasses.
• City names: GeoNames (CC BY 4.0). Time zones: timezone-boundary-builder and OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). Magnetic model: World Magnetic Model 2025 (NOAA / BGS).
