Note: Sun path calculations assume clear line of sight to the sky. Actual sunlight may vary due to buildings, trees, and weather conditions. --- PRIVACY --- No accounts. No tracking. No data leaves your device. Location is used only for solar calculations and is never transmitted anywhere. See our full privacy policy for details. Requires iOS 16+. iPhone 8 or later.
