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. Solar Arc 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 What will golden hour look like three Saturdays from now? How much daylight will you have on that hiking trip in April? Pick any date in the next year and see the full picture - sun, moon, and light - before you commit. FIVE WAYS TO USE THE SKY Photography - Golden hour and blue hour, down to the minute. Stop guessing when to shoot. Hiking - Best trail windows and how much daylight is left. Know when to turn around. Screens - A screen curfew that follows the sun. Wind down with the sky, not against it. Gardening - When to water, when to protect, and how many sun hours your plants get today. Stargazing - When true darkness begins. The best window to see everything above you. FEATURES - Live gradient line and arc visualizations - Drag to scrub through any moment of the day - Sun view, moon view, or dual view - Golden hour and blue hour timing - Moonrise, moonset, phase, and illumination - 52-week forecast for any date - Five activity modes - Medium and large home screen widgets - Notifications for sunrise, sunset, and golden hour - Multi-location with automatic timezone handling - Available in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Korean, and Chinese - Built on NOAA solar and Meeus lunar algorithms - Fully offline. No tracking. No account required. WHAT IS GOLDEN HOUR? Golden hour is the short window after sunrise and before sunset when the light turns soft, warm, and directional. Photographers chase it. Hikers love it. SolarArc tells you exactly when it happens, wherever you are.

I love the App and have it on my Home Screen but recent updates now automatically show either Solar or Lunar Arc depending on the time. I’m only interested in the Solar Arc but now have to wait until sunrise for it to display. Can we have an option to switch? I’m not interested in the lunar cycle.
