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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Daylights at 4.7 against Daylight Clock's 4.0. Daylights also leads on ratings volume (55 vs 10). Daylight Clock's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months) and iOS requirement (10.3 vs 12.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Daylights holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Daylights has 55 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Daylight Clock's written reviews are positive against 67% of Daylights's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Daylight Clock ships an update every 2 months, Daylights every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
