About Sunlight

Every winter, the days get shorter and the darkness feels endless. But then, quietly, the light starts coming back. One minute more. Then two. Then five. Sunlight shows you that change. A beautiful solar dial tracks the full arc of your day - sunrise, sunset, dawn, dusk, golden hour - and tells you exactly how much daylight you gained or lost. On the darkest days, seeing "+1 min 47 sec" is a small reminder that the light is returning. What you get: - Daily daylight change tracking - see the days getting longer or shorter - A beautiful interactive solar dial showing the full day cycle - Sunrise, sunset, dawn, and dusk times - Golden hour time ranges for photography - Moon phase and illumination - Sun elevation with peak altitude - Aurora forecast with local visibility probability - Civil, nautical, or astronomical twilight - Save up to 10 locations with full timezone support - Home screen widgets in three sizes - Daily notifications with your daylight update - Dark and light themes - Tablet-optimised layout Completely private. No accounts, no tracking, no data collection. Your location never leaves your phone.
