About this app

Sunlapse is a golden hour and blue hour tracker built specifically for photographers — plan your shoot around perfect light, moon phases, and sun position, down to the minute.

Whether you're shooting sprawling landscapes, urban street photography, real estate, or celestial star trails, Sunlapse gives you the precision timing tools to plan a shoot before you ever leave the house.

☀️ GOLDEN HOUR & BLUE HOUR TRACKER
Know exactly when every magical moment of the day begins and ends:
- Golden Hour — Morning and evening windows for warm, directional light
- Blue Hour — The fleeting twilight glow before sunrise and after sunset
- Sunrise & Sunset — Precise times for your exact location
- Civil, Nautical & Astronomical Twilight — Full twilight breakdown for dawn and dusk
- Solar Noon — When the sun is at its highest point

All timings update automatically based on your real-time GPS location, so you always have accurate golden hour and blue hour times for photography, anywhere in the world.

🌙 MOON PHASE TRACKER FOR PHOTOGRAPHY
Plan beyond the sun. Track Moon Phase, Moonrise, and Moonset alongside your sun data — essential for astrophotography and night sky photography, so you always know how much moonlight will be in the sky before a shoot.

🗺️ SUN POSITION MAP FOR SHOOT PLANNING
Scout your location like a pro. Our interactive sun position map lets you visualize the sun's trajectory across the sky before you shoot. See exactly where the sun will rise, track its transition, and see where it sets — so your composition is never blocked by buildings or mountains you didn't plan for.
