## What is Sol Clock?

See where the sun and moon really are. Sol Clock is a solar time clock with sun and moon trackers.  Sunrise, sunset, golden hour, twilight, moonrise, moon phase and more on a hand-crafted astronomical clock face inspired by the medieval clocks of Venice and Prague.

The Clock
The clock face renders a full 24-hour solar day. The hand tracks the sun's position through the light spectrum of the day. An orbital ring shows the sky color spectrum for the day. Computed dynamically based on your location and the day's sunrise and sunset times.

Sky Map
The Sky Map shows an equidistant northern projection centered on the North Pole with a live shading to show the boundary between day and night.

Solar Compass
The Solar Compass tracks the sun and moon in real time and shows their position according to your orientation.

Planisphere
An interactive star and planet finder. Roll through and highlight one of 37 constellations by name, or browse the, each shown at its current position. Naked-eye stars and planets are set apart with brighter highlights. The North Star, Polaris, is always marked, so you always have a fixed point to reconnoiter with.

Events & Alarms
Enable notifications for any point in the solar day: Nautical Dawn, Civil Dawn, Sunrise, Golden Hour End, Morning Light, Solar Noon, Afternoon Light, Golden Dusk, Sunset, Civil Dusk, Nautical Dusk, and Night. Each alarm fires at its precise solar or lunar time for your location, rescheduling automatically every day.

Smarter time display. All times throughout the app now show both 12-hour and 24-hour formats side by side, automatically matching your iPhone's clock setting. Whichever format your phone uses appears first, with the other shown in brackets.

Alarm times on the Alarms tab. Each alarm now shows the exact time it would fire today based on your location, so you know at a glance when sunrise, golden hour, nautical dusk, and every other event will actually occur. Moonrise and moonset include the date since they sometimes fall on the following day.

Distances on the Compass. The Sun and Moon panels now show how far you are from the point on Earth directly beneath each body, in miles and kilometers based on your region settings.

Better Compass readout. The altitude display now shows the exact angle for both sun and moon, including negative values when they're below the horizon.

Clock tab stays current. The clock face, sky background color, and next alarm time now update immediately when you return to the app from the background.

Sky Map info panel. The Solar, Lunar, and Twilight info panels are cleaner and easier to read, with times formatted to your clock preference and distances shown in your preferred units.

Improved iPad text visibility.

### 1.2 — 2026-05-25

Version 1.2 brings the sky to life on the clock face.

The orbital ring — the band the sun travels along — is now a full 24-hour color wheel. Each segment shows the actual sky color for that time of day: deep violet at nautical twilight, warm gold at sunrise, pale blue at midday, rich orange at dusk. Colors are computed dynamically from today's sunrise and sunset at your location, so the wheel shifts subtly with the seasons and your latitude.

The clock tab background now reflects the current sky conditions with a smooth gradient that cross-fades as the light changes throughout the day.

A live color temperature readout now appears below the time display — for example, "~4,800 K · Morning Light" — so you always know the quality of light at a glance.
