Lumora Solar Hours Frame Light

Lumora turns the ancient 24-hour solar clock into a live photographer's companion. Unlike fixed 60-minute hours, temporal (solar) hours divide daylight and nighttime into 12 equal parts each — so hour length changes with the seasons and your latitude. Lumora calculates all 24 boundaries in real time from your exact location, giving you a living timeline of natural light from sunset to sunset. FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS Every solar hour is labeled with its photographic light phase: - Golden Hour (morning & evening) — warm, directional, portrait-perfect - Blue Hour (civil twilight) — cool ambient glow, cityscapes & seascapes - Nautical & Astronomical Twilight — astrophotography, Milky Way shots - Harsh Light & Peak Intensity — midday, high-contrast architecture - Soft Daylight & Crisp Daylight — product, food & lifestyle photography - Descent Light & Warm Daylight — second golden window before sunset Tap any hour card to see the exact start/end times, photographer's phase name, and sunrise or sunset time if it falls in that hour. LIVE SOLAR CLOCK - 24 color-coded hour cards with real-time countdown to the next hour boundary - Swipeable 6-page layout: 3 night pages + 3 day pages, 4 hours per page - Animated sine-wave sun path graph behind each page showing the sun's arc - Current hour highlighted with a glowing red border - Day/night length bar with tap-to-expand equinox & solstice dates - Haptic vibration pulse when a new solar hour begins SUNRISE & SUNSET Accurate sunrise and sunset times calculated for your GPS coordinates. Displayed directly on the hour cards for Hour 1 (Sunrise) and Hour 12 (Sunset) of the day cycle, plus start/end times for every hour in between. SMART ALARMS Set up to 5 custom alarms anchored to any solar hour: - Pick any of the 24 hours from a dropdown - Swipe to fine-tune: −20 to +20 minutes offset from the hour start - Daily or weekly recurrence (choose specific weekdays) - 4 built-in tones + pick any audio file from your device - Fires even when the app is closed — alarm reschedules daily as solar boundaries shift Perfect for waking up 15 minutes before Golden Hour or getting a reminder when Blue Hour begins.
