Photographers, walkers, sailors and anyone with a window all orient themselves around the same thing: the light. AmberSky lets you plan around it precisely, anywhere.
Everything is calculated on-device from the standard solar models. No location is ever uploaded, sold, or shared.

- 02Civil twilight.Sun 6° below the horizon — the sky has colour and the world is legible again, but the sun has yet to rise.
- 03Golden hour.When the sun sits low and warm — soft shadows, golden light, the photographer's hour. Twice a day.
- 04Blue hour.Just after sunset or before sunrise — the sky a flat, even blue. The quietest light of the day.
- 05Lock-screen widgets.Multiple widget sizes for iOS lock and home screens. Always know what light is happening next.
- 06Calendar ahead.Browse forward and back to plan a shoot, a walk, or an event around the light you want.
