When will it really get dark? Sunset is not the end of light. Sometimes it stays bright long after sunset. Sometimes darkness comes much sooner. DayLight shows how much usable light is really left. Instead of a single sunset time, you see the full light progression: • first light • sunrise • daylight • sunset • twilight • darkness Most apps only show sunset times. DayLight helps you understand when it will actually get dark outside. So you can decide: • whether to go out • how much time you still have • when to head back Features: • Remaining light time • Clear day dial • End of light estimate • Smart notifications • Widgets • Apple Watch Perfect for: • walks • hiking • outdoor time • daily planning With DayLight, you always know how much usable light you still have left.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: DayLight at Free against Anemometer's $4.99. DayLight also leads on review sentiment (43% vs 18%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). Anemometer's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.6) and chart position (#127 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
DayLight is free to download; Anemometer costs $4.99 up front. Anemometer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and DayLight sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Anemometer holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DayLight has 217 ratings behind it against 43, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 18% of Anemometer's written reviews are positive against 43% of DayLight's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Anemometer ships an update every 4 months, DayLight monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
