## What is Sun Checker?

Golden hour in 47 minutes.

Sun Checker tells you exactly when — and shows you exactly where in the sky. Live AR countdown to sunrise, sunset, golden hour, and blue hour. Point your phone and watch the sun's path bloom over your scene.

For photographers chasing light. For scouting locations before the shoot. For knowing when to be where.

FEATURES
• Live AR sun path, colored by altitude — warm at golden hour, cool at blue hour
• Countdown to the next solar event: sunrise, sunset, golden hour, blue hour
• Scout any date, any location — see December vs June over the same hillside
• Moon path, too
• Save locations and return when the light is right
• iOS-native design: glass UI, precise haptics, built for dark mode

PRO
Unlock date planning with a one-time purchase — no subscription.
