About SunTrace: Sun, Moon & Stars
SunTrace visualizes the sun and moon's journey across the sky in a beautiful, minimalist chart — right on your home screen. NEW IN 1.3 • Tonight Score – tonight's stargazing score from 0 to 100, with the best 2-hour window and the reasons behind it (7-night outlook with Pro) • Milky Way planner – when the galactic core is visible tonight and this month, plus a Milky Way band on the sky map and in AR (full-year heatmap with Pro) • Real terrain – the sky map and AR draw the actual ridge line around you: "Hidden behind the ridge, clears at 10:10 PM" • Star-hop guide – step by step from bright stars to the constellation you want • Constellation photo – in camera AR, show just one constellation's lines and name, take the photo, align it, then save or share. Free photos carry a small SunTrace watermark; Pro removes it. Phone cameras mostly capture the brighter stars. WHAT YOU GET ◉ Sky Map & Constellation Finder See 5,000 stars, all 88 constellations, the planets, the Sun and the Moon where they are right now. Search a constellation and follow the arrow — it lights up in gold. Point your phone or turn on the camera to see the sky labeled in AR, and check when a constellation rises and its best time tonight. ◉ Sun & Moon Path Chart Track the sun's arc from sunrise to sunset and the moon's path during nighttime — all on a single 24-hour timeline. See the current position in real-time. ◉ Temperature Chart Hourly temperature curve with cold-to-hot color gradient. Precipitation probability overlay shows when rain is expected. ◉ Golden Hour & Blue Hour Know exactly when the perfect light begins. Color-coded light phase bar shows golden hour, blue hour, and twilight times at a glance. ◉ Home Screen Widgets Small and Medium widgets show sunrise, sunset, temperature, and a countdown to the next event — without opening the app. Chart and Calendar widgets come with Pro. ◉ Date Explorer Browse any past or future date to see the sun path, moon phase, and historical weather data powered by Open-Meteo. ◉ Sun Compass Point your phone to see where the sun is right now. The compass overlays the sun's arc with azimuth and altitude — perfect for planning photo shoots. ◉ Share Cards Generate beautiful Instagram-ready cards showing today's sun path, golden hour times, and moon phase.
