Eclipse Timer vs Golden Hour & Sunset Times

Eclipse Timer computes precise contact times for solar eclipses at any location you choose — down to the second. Pick an eclipse from a catalog spanning 1900 to 2100, drop a pin on the map or use your GPS, and instantly see when each phase of the eclipse begins and ends at your exact location. FEATURES • Browse 200+ solar eclipses from 1900 to 2100 — total, annular, partial, and hybrid — with search and filtering by year, date, type, or catalog ID. • Tap the map, drag a pin, or use GPS to set your observer location. The engine computes results for your precise coordinates. • View all five contact times (C1, C2, Greatest Eclipse, C3, C4) in both UTC and your local time zone. See eclipse type, magnitude, and duration of totality or annularity at your chosen spot. • Live countdown timer shows days, hours, minutes, and seconds until the next eclipse event for the selected eclipse. • Set notification reminders for eclipse contacts — one hour before, ten minutes before, or at the moment of each event. Choose between system sounds, vibration, or spoken voice (TTS) alerts. • Interactive map overlays show the eclipse's visible path and central line so you can see where totality or annularity occurs. • NASA preview animations let you visualize each eclipse before it happens. • Save favorite locations for quick access across different eclipses. HOW IT WORKS Eclipse Timer uses the classical Besselian elements method — the same mathematical framework used by professional astronomers — to compute local eclipse circumstances. The engine evaluates polynomial shadow geometry at your observer coordinates to determine exactly when the moon's penumbral and umbral shadows reach your location. All computation happens on your device. Your location is never sent to any server. PRIVACY Eclipse Timer requests location access only when you choose to use GPS. Your coordinates stay on your device and are used solely to compute eclipse times. The app contains no ads, no analytics, no tracking, and no user accounts. See our full privacy policy for details. Whether you're planning a trip to see totality, checking if a partial eclipse will be visible from your backyard, or exploring historical eclipses — Eclipse Timer gives you the precise timing data you need.

Aubade tells you the exact minute the light turns golden at your spot — today, next week, or on any date you choose — and taps you on the shoulder 15 minutes before it happens. Most sun apps hand you a wall of numbers and leave the rest to you. Aubade is built around the shoot: pin the locations you photograph, glance at one card to see sunrise, sunset, golden hour and blue hour side by side, then let a quiet on-device reminder get you set up before the colour arrives. Every time is calculated on your iPhone from solar geometry, so the answer is the same in the desert, on a ferry, or with airplane mode on. WHAT YOU GET • Stop guessing when the light peaks — see sunrise, sunset, golden hour, blue hour and civil twilight for today at a glance • Arrive with your tripod already up — a local reminder fires 15 minutes before golden hour at each saved spot • Know how good the golden window will be — a Light Quality score grades how long low, warm light will linger • Book a shoot weeks ahead with confidence — pick any date and see the full light timeline for that day • Read the week in one swipe — a 7-day board shows how the golden window shifts from day to day • Keep every location one tap away — save spots with notes and open today's light for each instantly PERFECT FOR • Landscape and travel photographers planning dawn and dusk sessions • Wedding and portrait shooters timing the last soft light of the day • Hikers, runners and campers who want to be back before dark • Anyone who simply loves watching the sky change colour WHY NOT JUST SEARCH "SUNRISE TIME"? A search result gives you one number for one city. Aubade gives you the whole light curve — when the colour starts, when it fades, how long it lasts — for the exact coordinates you care about, on any date, with a reminder attached. It also handles the edge cases a quick search skips, such as polar day and polar night, so you always know what the sky will actually do. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Aubade computes sunrise, sunset and twilight on your device. Your saved spots stay on your iPhone, reminders are scheduled locally, and there is no account to create. Location is used only when you allow it, and only to work out the light for where you stand. FULL ACCESS Aubade is unlocked with a subscription or a one-time purchase. Choose weekly, yearly or lifetime access — every plan opens the full light board, unlimited saved spots, date planning and golden hour reminders. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed in your App Store account settings. Pin your first spot, set the reminder, and be standing in the right place when the light turns gold.
