Will the balcony get sun in December? Where will the sun set behind that church on Saturday? Point your phone and see.
SunPlanner draws the sun path over your camera view and on a compass dial, for today or any date, with sunrise, sunset, golden hour and blue hour for the place you choose.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account, no ads, no analytics. Your location, places and camera picture stay on your phone.
Sun positions follow the NOAA solar equations. Compass accuracy depends on your phone's sensors (usually a few degrees); calibrate by moving the phone in a figure 8. Never look directly at the sun.
See where the sun will be on any date: AR sun path, sun hours, golden hour.
