PrimeHour: Golden Hour Planner

PrimeHour is the trip planner built for photographers. Add your destinations and dates, and PrimeHour turns every trip into a shot-by-shot plan — scoring each location by sun, moon, and weather, then scheduling your shoots around the best light. PLAN THE WHOLE TRIP • Multi-stop itineraries on a map — every destination, every day • A shot list for each location, with the timing and gear it needs • AI-generated photography spots near every stop, scored for the light SCORE THE LIGHT Every shot gets a 0–100 light score combining sun angle, cloud cover, and the forecast — plus a plain-language reason for the number. The engine reads conditions through the lens of your shot: a breeze that ruins a macro shot won't dent a cityscape, and the same high cloud that kills an astro night is what makes a sunset. Opinionated and transparent, never a black box. SEE FURTHER AHEAD Ensemble weather models and climate history score shots well past the 10-day forecast, so you can plan a trip months out — and the app tells you honestly how much to trust each number. SHOOT THE NIGHT SKY • True astronomical darkness, not just "after sunset" • Moon impact judged by height and phase, so a low moon doesn't sink a good night • The Milky Way core's real position, tracked properly • Light pollution for any location on Earth — know before you drive • Dew risk, because the clearest, stillest nights are the ones that fog a lens NAIL GOLDEN & BLUE HOUR • Live sun & moon compass — point your phone to see exactly where the sun and moon will rise, set, and sit • An automatic daily schedule with "set up by" times so you're in position before the light peaks • Best-window finding across your whole trip DIAL IN EVERY SHOT • AI gear & camera settings — the right lens from your own kit, plus exact aperture, shutter, and ISO for the conditions • A packing list built from your trip's shots and the gear you own BUILT FOR THE FIELD • Offline-first — sun, moon, schedules, scores, and light pollution all compute on-device, so every screen works on a plane, in a canyon, or on bad hotel wifi • Weather-change alerts when conditions for an upcoming shot shift • A heads-up when the light near you turns good — even when you have nothing planned START FREE Plan unlimited trips with up to five shots each, score every shot from sun, moon, and weather, and use the live sun & moon compass, nearby spots, the 10-day forecast, the daily schedule, best-window finding, and alerts when the light near you turns good — all free.
