Gloaming: A Sunset a Day
Computed dusk, beyond the lens
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Tonight's sky is already forming — computed from your place and the date, and gone by morning. Watch it turn, keep the evenings you love, and reach any place on any day.
A sky for every evening, drawn from a place and a day.
Gloaming computes a new sunset each evening, worked out on your device from two things: where you are, and what day it is. No camera saw this one. It has never existed, and it will not come again. The same place on the same day always gives the same sky, so a sky you keep opens unchanged.
The moon is in its true phase for the date, and sunset is timed to the minute where you stand. The light, the clouds, the horizon and the sea grow around those two facts.
— Today —
It opens on tonight's sunset, wherever you are. Drag the timeline from golden hour into deep dusk and watch the color, cloud, and reflection shift; the true sunset time is marked quietly on the track. Long-press to keep a sky you love.
— Tonight, elsewhere —
Every evening, eight other places are having their sunset too. Everyone sees the same eight, and you can open any of them and watch it happen, free. One of them is yours to keep each night.
— Collection —
Every sky you keep carries the place and the date it was drawn from. See them as a grid, or as a map: a slowly turning night globe where every keep is a point of light, each in its own color.
— Widget and reminders —
Today's sky on your home screen, refreshed daily. An optional reminder arrives shortly before sunset where you are — the real one for that day, so it moves as the year does — and tells you what tonight's sky is like.
Today where you are, tonight's eight, a keep a day, the widget, and your whole Collection are free — and sharing is never gated. Share any sky, with a quiet inscription of place and date, or none at all — at 1080 × 2160, the same share for everyone. Images saved to Photos are 1080.
GLOAMING PRO
A one-time unlock. Yours forever.
— Seek —
Any place on Earth, any day. Choose from the city list, turn a globe and drop a marker, or enter coordinates, then pick the date, past or future. The evening you were born, a new year over Tokyo, a day still to come.
— Studio —
Make a sky of your own. The atelier composes one from palette, clouds, land, night, and camera — start from a mood (Afterglow, Firefall, Blue Hour, Borealis) or build from blank. Name it, keep it, and it joins your Creations.
The range.
Twelve palettes — amber, magenta, peach, crimson, teal, lavender, wildfire, cobalt, pale blue, steel, polar, and the green flash. Five cloud regimes, from clear to overcast. Ten horizons: open sea, islands, hills, mountains, city, forest, mesa, grassland, karst, and dunes. Six seas, from glassy to rolling swell. And now and then an aurora — only at latitudes where one could really appear — with the moon running its true phases.
— Your view —
What's outside your window? Set the horizon of the place you actually are, and every evening's sky is drawn against it.
Unlimited keeps, and any sky saved at 4K.
Made for iPhone and iPad, in both orientations — the sky recomposes for the screen rather than stretching.
It is all worked out on your device: no account, no backend, nothing uploaded. It works in airplane mode.
A small ritual at the close of the day — a keepsake of evenings, each drawn from a place and a day, and never seen again.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Gloaming comes to iPad. A wider canvas doesn't stretch the sky — it recomposes it: the horizon settles lower, and the land is drawn anew for the shape of your screen. Rotation is unlocked everywhere, phones included. Seek opens into two panes, Studio's controls sit beside the sky in landscape, and your collection reads like a contact sheet. Plus quiet polish and fixes throughout.
