SolCalc is a sun and moon calculator that tells you when the light will be right — at any place on Earth, on any day you pick.
Get sunrise, sunset and solar noon together with the blue hour, the golden hour and the twilight times (civil, nautical and astronomical). See the moon as it looks from your place, how much daylight you gain or lose each day, the eclipses you can see, and the shadow length of any object.
Point your camera at the scene and AR mode draws the sun's path straight onto the live view, with golden hour and blue hour markers, azimuth, elevation and shadow length.
Widgets and a live countdown put the next golden hour, sunset or blue hour on your Home Screen and Lock Screen, and reminders tell you before the light changes — calculated on your device, without an account or a server.
Save multiple places, by hand or from GPS, and set a place's time zone yourself when you plan a trip.
