Solar Arc Downloads & RevenueSolar Arc: Golden Hour Tracker · App Store

Golden hour happens every single day. Most people miss it. SolarArc makes sure you don't.

- Chasing golden hour for a photo? Know the exact minute it starts.
- Planning a sunrise hike? See the best trail windows at a glance.
- Wondering when the moon rises tonight? It's right there on your screen.

SolarArc is a sun and moon tracker that feels like looking out the window. Every view shifts with the real sky - warm when the light is warm, dark when the sky is dark.

THE GRADIENT LINE

Your entire day, painted in one line. Dawn amber bleeds into midday blue, then sunset orange, then deep navy night. Golden hour glows. Blue hour cools. You can read the exact times, or just glance at the color and know where you are in the day.

THE ARC

The sun and moon traced across your sky in real time. Watch them rise, climb, and fall against a live gradient that shifts with the actual light outside your window. Drag your finger across the arc to scrub through the day - the sky, the times, and the numbers all move with you. View the sun alone, the moon alone, or both together.

THE MOON

Know when to look up. SolarArc renders tonight's moon with the correct phase shape on the arc. Plan around full moons. Catch a crescent at dusk. Know exactly how dark the sky will be.

52-WEEK FORECAST
