Sun or shade, Glowli makes sure you're always comfortable! Increase your sunlight on dreary days or find shady routes on hot days and grow your garden while doing so!
Whether you want more sun or more shade, with Glowli you always find the perfect route. Collect rays on your walks and grow a garden for your sun companion!
Glowli knows where the sun is in relation to your position and if the buildings around you are casting shadows, in order to help you find the sunniest or shadiest route to your destination. If the day is too hot, flip the switch and get the shadiest route instead. Same map, opposite goal!
GET MORE SUN
Tap a destination. Glowli shows three walking routes ranked by how much sun reaches the sidewalk between now and when you'd arrive. Building shadows are calculated live, so the route updates as the sun moves.
GROW YOUR GARDEN
Every walk earns rays. Spend them on plants for a little floating island that lives inside your phone. Forty species so far, all hand-modeled. Things grow, drift, and bloom on their own time.
MEET YOUR SUNFRIEND
A small fox lives on the island. The more sun you get, the brighter and bouncier it gets. Skip a few days and it goes quiet. It does not die. It misses you.
SEE YOUR SUNLIGHT STORY
Weekly recap with how many minutes you spent in direct sun, your longest streak, and what the weather was doing while you walked.
