## What is Dracula?

Every street has a shadow.

Dracula is a walking and cycling navigator that keeps you out of the sun. Instead of the fastest route, it finds the shadiest one — using real building heights, tree canopies, and the sun's exact position in the sky at this very minute.

HOW IT WORKS
Dracula computes the shadows every building and tree in your area casts right now, then routes you through them — down to which side of the street to walk on and where to cross.

FEATURES
• Shade routes for walking and cycling, compared against the fastest route so you see what the detour costs
• Turn-by-turn navigation with a follow-me camera, live shade painted on the map around you, and guidance like "Sun in 80 m"
• Live weather: UV index, cloud cover, temperature, and precipitation for your exact location
• A living sky: the sun with its current condition, real moon phases after dark, sunset countdown, and automatic night theme during vampire hours
• A once-a-day brief with sunscreen and heat advice based on the actual UV forecast
• Four languages: English, Nederlands, Korean, and Chinese — detected automatically
• Works worldwide, powered by OpenStreetMap data

WHY
Summers are getting hotter. Shade can be several degrees cooler and spares your skin. Dracula makes choosing the cool side of the street effortless — and a little bit fun.

No account. No tracking. Your location is used only to route you.

Stay pale.
