Suncam: Sun Position Tracker

Suncam tells you where the light will be, before you get there. Drop a pin on the map. Suncam draws the exact bearing of sunrise and sunset, the moon's path, and lays out the day: dawn, golden hour, blue hour, dusk. Drag the timeline with your thumb and the sun line sweeps across the map in real time — you watch the light move over the landscape, hour by hour. THE TERRAIN THAT STEALS YOUR LIGHT A 9:30 PM sunset means nothing if a ridge puts you in shadow at 7. Suncam reads the elevation all around your spot within 20 km and works out when the sun actually disappears. In a valley the gap runs into hours — and no ephemeris table will show it to you. THE SUN'S PATH IN YOUR VIEWFINDER Raise your iPhone: the day's arc overlays the real landscape, coloured by moment of light. You see where the sun will land behind those trees, when it will strike that wall. One tap while aiming at the sun calibrates the compass, and the drawn disc lines up with the real one. YOUR SPOTS, ORGANISED Search a harbour, a summit, a beach. One star keeps it, one folder files it. Every spot stays visible on the map, at any zoom. ACCURACY YOU CAN CHECK Sun and moon positions are computed on the device, from the algorithms of Jean Meeus and NOAA. The times were compared against US Naval Observatory ephemerides from the tropics to the Arctic Circle: the difference is measured in seconds. Because everything is computed locally, the app works with no connection — only the terrain analysis needs one. WHAT YOU PAY 7 days to try everything, then a single purchase. No subscription, no renewal, no account to create. Your spots stay on your iPhone. Built for photographers, Suncam also serves hikers, climbers, gardeners, and anyone who needs to know where the sun will fall.
