Get out, take a walk, and (most importantly) Enjoy the Sunset! Get a quick and easy daily reminder before the sunset each day. As a programmer that spends a lot of my working day inside at a desk I make sure and take a couple of walks throughout the day. Living in Huntington Beach, I make sure and try to time one of those walks before dark with the side benefit of being able to Enjoy the Sunset. I hope you enjoy this little reminder everyday as much as I do. Thanks for checking this app out, Matt Automatic daily reminder requires that the app has background refresh enabled.

I wrote this app to help me get home before dark while riding my bicycle. You can see at a glance how much time until sunset, and set notifications for when you are running out of sunlight. Your loved ones will no longer worry or complain. Then I added everything solar but the kitchen sink, just for fun. Not only for your current location, you can monitor sunrise, noon, and sunset anywhere on Earth. You can compare locations, make movies, and generate reports comparing a location you select to places around the globe. Check the distance to your location, the Equator, and the North or South Pole from anywhere on Earth. Quick and easy for its headline purpose, but enough detail to satisfy almost any nerd. Most of the USA is far enough north to have little sunlight in mid-winter, rapid changes in the amount of sunlight in spring and fall, and a glorious abundance in summer. You need this app to keep on top of all that.
