LastLight gives you precise sunset and last usable light times right on your Lock Screen and Home Screen—so you never miss the perfect moment. WHAT MAKES LASTLIGHT DIFFERENT Most apps just show sunset. LastLight goes further by calculating the exact moment when outdoor light becomes truly unusable—what we call "Last Light." This carefully calculated time tells you when you need to wrap up outdoor activities, set up camp, or head home before darkness sets in. Whether you're a photographer chasing perfect light, a hiker planning your trail time, or someone who simply wants to make the most of daylight—LastLight delivers the precision you need. DESIGNED FOR LOCK SCREEN & HOME SCREEN LastLight was built specifically for iOS widgets, giving you instant access to critical timing information without ever opening an app. Lock Screen Widgets: - Rectangular widget below the time—your main glanceable display - Four independent circular widgets: First Light, Sunrise, Sunset, and Last Light - Perfect for Always-On Display on iPhone 14 Pro and newer Home Screen Widgets: - Small, Medium, and Large sizes - Beautiful sunset icon with customizable color (15 color options) - Clean, readable design that complements any Home Screen aesthetic HIGHLY CUSTOMIZABLE Every widget can be personalized to match your preferences: Display Options: - Choose what to show: First Light, Sunrise, Sunset, or Last Light - Three configurable lines—show only what matters to you - Hide or display individual time points Alignment Control: - Lock Screen: Adjust vertical and horizontal positioning - Home Screen: Center or left-align text - Fine-tune every widget independently Bold Font Options: - Make important information stand out - Customize which lines use bold text - Three intensity levels: Bold, Bolder, Boldest - Different settings for Lock Screen vs Home Screen widgets Icon Customization: - Choose from 15 vibrant colors for the sunset icon - Match your wallpaper or personal style PERFECT FOR EVERY OUTDOOR ACTIVITY Photographers: - Know exactly when usable light disappears - Never waste time waiting for darkness that's already arrived Hikers & Campers: - Calculate remaining daylight for trail navigation - Time your arrival at camp before darkness - Plan activities around actual usable light—not just sunset Outdoor Enthusiasts: - Coordinate evening activities with precision - Maximize daylight for outdoor projects - Safe planning for activities requiring natural light Daily Life: - Know how much daylight remains after work - Plan evening walks or runs - Time outdoor chores and activities FOUR PRECISE TIME POINTS: - First Light: The moment usable morning light begins - Sunrise: When the sun crosses the horizon in the morning - Sunset: When the sun crosses the horizon in the evening - Last Light: The moment when outdoor light becomes unusable All times are calculated with scientific precision for your exact location and automatically account for your timezone, daylight saving time, and seasonal variations.
