Sun Path & Golden Hour Tracker

Sun Path shows where the sun and moon are, and when the light is right, for any day and any place. Plan a photo, check how much sun a garden or a flat will get, or just know how long until sunset.

SEE THE WHOLE DAY AT A GLANCE
• A 24-hour light dial: night, twilight, blue hour, golden hour and daylight in colour, with the sun moving round it
• A countdown to the next moment that matters: "Golden hour in 42 min"
• Sunrise, sunset, solar noon, civil, nautical and astronomical twilight, golden and blue hour, day length and how it changes from yesterday
• Moon phase, moonrise, moonset, the next full and new moon, distance, perigee and apogee

ANY DATE, ANY PLACE, FREE
Swipe to another day or pick a date. Use your location, search 34,000 cities offline, or type coordinates. Every place keeps its own time zone, even far away.

SUN TRACKER IN THE CAMERA (AR)
Hold up your phone: today's sun path is drawn on the sky with every hour marked, with the sun and moon where they are. An arrow shows which way to turn when they are out of view. Drag the time bar to move the sun along its path.

A COMPASS YOU CAN TRUST
Phone compasses are often several degrees off. Sun Path checks the magnetic field against the World Magnetic Model and tells you plainly when the compass is disturbed or needs calibrating. Then line the view up with the sun or moon in one tap, or drag the drawing onto a landmark: everything moves into place.

PLAN WITH THE SUN
• A flat sun compass with today's path and the solstice and equinox paths, so you see the sun's range over the whole year
• The sun's height through the day, and the length and direction of the shadow of anything, in metres or feet
• A home-screen widget with today's sunrise, sunset, golden and blue hour

WORKS OFFLINE
All times, the compass and the camera work with no connection. Only the planning map needs one. No account, no sign-in, no tracking.

GOOD TO KNOW
• Times are computed on your phone from published astronomical formulas and checked against NASA JPL Horizons: sunrise and sunset to about a minute. Hills and buildings change the times you see.
• Never look at the sun directly or through a camera.
• City names: GeoNames (CC BY 4.0). Time zones: timezone-boundary-builder and OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). Magnetic model: World Magnetic Model 2025 (NOAA / BGS).
