Get Ready for Golden Hour: Track Sunsets, Sunrises, and More with Lumy

There’s a secret to taking amazing outdoor photos or timing the perfect sunrise hike: Lumy tracks the Golden Hour, the day’s last light, and more in a sleek interface that helps you plan for those dreamy moments.

What we love about Lumy: Anticipate the best lighting conditions by filtering the data that best suits the sun event you want to experience. Customize information like sunrise and sunset times or morning and evening Golden Hour windows. Plus, if you add a Lumy widget to your Home Screen, you’ll see a countdown showing you a percentage of how much time is left for each period, so you can time things like a photoshoot down to the minute.

Quick tip: Wondering when that hazy light just before a sunrise will hit the skies? Lumy lets you track that (it’s called Before Glow in the app) and so much more. Tap the menu icon on the lower right corner to personalize your view of various sun events.

Meet the creator: Developer of the Apple Design Award–winning app Calzy, Raja Vijayaraman created Lumy to serve his own needs as a photographer. Since its launch, the app has become a favorite of anyone who needs to track the sunrise—from truck drivers to fitness fiends.
