Solarma: Sun Times & Alarms

Gammy Studios

About this app

Solarma answers the one question a weather app doesn't: what is the last moment I can head out the door and still get my time outside before the light is gone?

TWO LIVE COUNTDOWNS
The home screen shows time to the next sunrise and the next sunset, with the clock time under each. No hunting through forecast pages for sun times.

YOUR DAYLIGHT DEADLINE
Tell Solarma how many minutes outside you want today and how long it takes you to get out the door. It computes your personal leave-by time, counts down to it, and keeps it updated as the seasons shift the sunset. Count daylight until sunset or civil dusk - your choice.

AN ALERT LADDER, NOT AN ALARM STORM
A heads-up while there is still time to plan. A nudge when it is time to get ready. One loud alert at the deadline. A quiet note when the window has closed. Each step can be switched off, and only the deadline alert makes a sound.

FIRST LIGHT
A morning card shows when usable light starts and how long the prime window lasts, so early hours are never a guess. An optional silent reminder covers it.

HOME-SCREEN WIDGETS
Morning and sunset widgets show your key times right on the home screen and update through the day. Tap to open the app.

CLEARER SKIES NEARBY (OPTIONAL)
Overcast during the hours you can actually get out? Tell Solarma when you are busy - off work at 4, say - and the clear-sky finder checks the forecast across everywhere you could reach in the time that leaves. It names the nearest spot with meaningfully clearer sky, when to leave, and how much clear light you would actually get there - "head south of Tucson by 6:41 PM for about 3h 32m of clearer light" - with the street address, tap-to-copy coordinates for any maps app, and one-tap directions. Powered by the Open-Meteo public forecast. Off by default.

RED SCREEN FILTER (OPTIONAL)
Schedule a deep-red tint over the whole screen for late-night hours, with adjustable intensity and automatic on/off times. Off by default; uses the "display over other apps" permission only for this.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account. No ads. No tracking. The sun math runs entirely on your phone; your location never leaves the device unless you turn on the clear-sky finder, which sends only rounded coordinates to fetch the forecast. Works offline.

Solarma. Never miss the light.
