Daylights vs DayLength

Daylights is your calendar for daylight and night-dark hours around the year, all over the globe. It offers three alternative daylight visualization styles, allowing you to choose whichever feels the most intuitive to you: • The Classic: the 12-hour clock alternates between daylight and night-dark, whichever is shorter. • The Light: the 12-hour clock always shows daylight, overlapping with itself when necessary. • The Magic: a 24-hour clock shows the full day, and highlights the "magic hours" around sunrise and sunset! You can pick any location on the planet to look at the interplay of the polar night and the midnight sun at the big latitudes. And finally, you can see how the light and dark hours would shift in your hometown if daylight saving time became the permanent state of things or was removed altogether, or if they decided to move to the next or previous time zone.

Will it still be light when you finish work? Can you fit a run outside before sunset in December? DayLength answers these questions precisely, for any day of the year, anywhere on Earth. Enter any geographic coordinates or search for a city. DayLength calculates sunrise, sunset, and total daylight duration for every day of the year using the NOAA solar calculation algorithm — the same method used in scientific and navigational systems. All computation happens on your device, instantly, with no network required. HOW IT WORKS Open the app and enter your location — type coordinates manually or search by city name. Tap Explore Daylight. An interactive annual chart appears, showing how day enght changes across every day of the year. Drag your finger across the chart to explore any date: the exact sunrise, sunset, and total daylight hours update in real time. The app automatically detects polar phenomena — midnight sun and polar night — for high-latitude locations such as Reykjavik, Tromsø, or Anchorage.
