Whether you’re chasing golden hour, planning your daily dose of vitamin D, or keeping track of moon phases for stargazing, Lumy helps you make the most of natural light.
Now redesigned from the ground up - Lumy feels more personal, purposeful, and in sync with how we live. Inspired by sunlight filtering through a window, every view carries a subtle visual echo of light traveling through a pane of glass window.
