Dayclipse: Sun & Moon Tracker

Dayclipse is an offline sun and moon tracker for sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset, Moon phases, and changing daylight. Explore a live sky, golden hour, twilight, and an AR sky view for photos, outdoor plans, or curiosity.

☀️ SUN TRACKER & SUN POSITION

Use the sun tracker to check sunrise and sunset times, solar noon, day length, and the Sun's altitude and azimuth. Follow its direction on a compass-aware dial and explore its movement throughout the day.

🌙 MOON TRACKER & LUNAR CALENDAR

Follow moonrise and moonset, Moon position, illumination percentage, and the current phase. Explore waxing and waning phases, lunar altitude, a monthly Moon calendar, upcoming phases, Moon age, Earth–Moon distance, and an observing guide.

📱 AR SUN & MOON SKY VIEW

Point your phone toward the sky with Dayclipse's AR sun tracker view. On compatible devices, the camera overlay shows calculated Sun and Moon positions, their daily paths, the horizon, and compass directions. Find where to look, even when an object is below the horizon. A sensor-only mode works without the camera. AR requires a compass and motion sensors.

🧭 LIVE COMPASS & SKY TIMELINE

Turn your phone to see compass-aware Sun and Moon dials respond. Explore sky colors that follow the Sun's altitude. Drag the interactive timeline to preview another time, see the next event with a countdown, or select dates up to two years ahead.

🌅 GOLDEN HOUR, BLUE HOUR & TWILIGHT

Check golden hour and blue hour times, and view daylight, darkness, and twilight on a layered daily timeline. Filter upcoming sky events and review day and night durations.

🌆 CIVIL TWILIGHT — CIVIL DAWN & DUSK

Track civil dawn and civil dusk when the Sun is 0° to 6° below the horizon. See the soft light before sunrise and after sunset, useful for photography and outdoor plans.

🌊 NAUTICAL TWILIGHT — NAUTICAL DAWN & DUSK

Find nautical dawn and nautical dusk when the Sun is 6° to 12° below the horizon. Explore the transition to darker skies as the horizon becomes harder to see.

🔭 ASTRONOMICAL TWILIGHT — DAWN & DUSK

Check astronomical dawn and dusk when the Sun is 12° to 18° below the horizon. Plan around the transition between twilight and astronomical darkness.

📷 PHOTOGRAPHY LIGHT PLANNER

Plan around Sun and Moon directions, golden and blue hour windows, sunrise, sunset, solar noon, moonrise, and moonset using a true-north dial and time slider.

📍 OFFLINE CITIES & FAVORITES

Search tens of thousands of offline cities, save favorites, and see local astronomical times. No GPS or internet connection is required for Sun and Moon calculations.

✨ MADE FOR YOUR DAILY SKY

Personalize time format, angle notation, visible sky markers, home screen details, and timeline labels. Share a portrait or square image card showing the current sky, Sun or Moon information, golden hour, blue hour, or your next sky event.

FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS, TRAVELERS & SKY WATCHERS

Check when natural light changes before a landscape photo. Look up sunrise and sunset for a city you're visiting. Follow lunar phases for casual Moon watching, or compare twilight and daylight across dates. Find it all in one readable place.

WHY DAYCLIPSE?

Instead of making you decode dense astronomy tables, Dayclipse combines a responsive sky scene, clear event times, an interactive timeline, a Sun compass, and a Moon compass. Its sun and moon tracker works with an offline city database, while AR adds a real-world directional view on supported phones.

Times and positions are astronomical estimates for the selected city and an ideal horizon. Weather, terrain, buildings, and sensor accuracy can affect what you see. Never look directly at the Sun.

Explore sunrise, moonrise, and the changing light with Dayclipse, your everyday Sun and Moon tracker.
