See the sun’s path in AR, plan golden hour, and get light alerts—all on-device.
Never miss golden hour.
Helios shows you the sun's path through the sky in augmented reality — point your phone at the sky and see exactly where the sun will be at any time of day, any day of the year. Scrub through time, scrub through dates. Tap any event in the schedule to jump there instantly.
Set golden-hour alerts so Helios reminds you before golden hour, blue hour, or sunset begins — no constant phone-checking while you're out shooting, walking, or just enjoying the day.
Features:
- AR sun path overlay (3D, anchored to your real location)
- Time-of-day and date scrubbing
- Full schedule: dawn, golden hour, solar noon, sunset, blue hour, dusk
- Golden-hour alerts with optional spoken cues when headphones are connected
- Compass mode for when you can't raise your phone
- Save favorite locations (Unlock)
Helios is free to use for today and the week ahead. One $4.99 unlock gets everything else — the full year of sun data, saved locations, and golden-hour alerts. No subscription. No ads.
Fully on-device. No cloud, no account.
