for smart sun planning.

Sun Path and sky color preview

See how the sun moves through the sky and how the sky itself will look.

Sunlitt shows the sun’s position at any time and date, along with dynamic sky gradients that shift with each light phase: golden hour, blue hour, twilight, and more.

It’s not just where the sun is, but how the light feels.

Augmented Reality (AR)

With Sunlitt’s AR mode, you can see how sunlight moves through your actual surroundings. Walk around and visualize where the sun will rise, how it will travel across the sky, and where shadows will fall — not just today, but for any date or season.

It’s ideal for checking natural light through windows, planning shade in your garden, or scouting outdoor shots — all from your iPhone or iPad.

Shadow Map

Visualize how shadows move through space, hour by hour and season by season.

With Sunlitt’s Shadow Map, you can see how buildings, streets, and city blocks cast shadows at any time and date.

It’s ideal for planning natural light in dense urban areas — whether you’re designing a space, photographing architecture, or just checking when your balcony gets sun.

Landform Shadows

With Sunlitt’s new Landform Shadows, you can explore how natural terrain — like mountains, hills, and valleys — affects light and shade across the day and through the seasons.

It’s a powerful tool for architects working in complex environments, filmmakers scouting outdoor locations, or anyone planning with sunlight in real-world landscapes.

Solar info, even offline

Sunlitt provides accurate, location-based timings for major solar events, including sunrise, sunset, golden hour, blue hour, first light, and last light.

Most features, including solar event timings, work even without an internet connection—so you can plan sun paths, check shadows, and view sun event times anywhere, even off-grid.

Widgets, Live Activities & more

Stay in sync with the sun — without even opening the app.

Sunlitt puts the sun’s key moments where you need them: on your Lock Screen, Home Screen, and wrist.

Moreover, you can track golden hour and blue hour as they happen with Live Activity. Or check your Apple Watch for sun position and key sun events — quick, clear, and always in sync.

Trusted. Under every sun.

From seasoned professionals to curious explorers, Sunlitt helps people around the world make better decisions with light. Here’s how it fits into real workflows, creative projects, and everyday adventures.
