Sol: Sun Clock
🇰🇷 KR LocalizedScreenshots
Description
What time is sunset today? Or sunrise tomorrow? When is the "magic hour" next March 20 in Paris? With Sol, you can check times and get reminders of solar events, at home or while traveling! Great for everyone looking to plan activities based on sunlight. Use it to remind you to walk the dog before dark, get up with the sun, or find golden hour time for that perfect photo. Sol: Sun Clock is the Swiss-army knife of sunlight tools with a design inspired by the simplicity of the sundial. Use it to plan your day, guide natural sleep cycles, get the best light for outdoor photography, make sure animals or kids are safe inside before dark, or to map out the best times to go running or fishing. * Be in tune: Sol will tell you when the golden hour is, how much sunlight you have left in the day or what time the next sunrise occurs. * Look to the future, travel around the world: Sol lets you find sunlight information for any date, anywhere on earth. * Find solar midnight and solar noon, and all three twilight (dawn and dusk) periods: astronomical twilight, nautical twilight, and civil twilight. Keep tabs on the next solstice and equinox. * Reminders and Alarms: Use Sol as a natural alarm clock that you can set to any event (like sunset, golden hour or solar noon), and the alarm or reminder time will adjust gradually as the days change with the seasons. * Automatic Location: Sol not only calculates the amount of daylight and sunrise and sunset times, but does so for any location in the world (both Northern and Southern hemispheres) by using your device's GPS... no network connection required. * Other locations: Optionally, use the built-in map to choose any location in the world by moving the pin, or search using the name of any city. * Optional location-aware alarms. Sol knows when you change with your location; and as you travel it will adjust any alarms you set relative to sunrise and sunset times. Create alarms for multiple locations around the world. * Detailed almanac information: Useful information about the day's length, sun's azimuth and elevation, equinoxes and solstices, and a friendly glossary that explains all the terms. Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. However, GPS runs in the background ONLY if you have set location-aware alarms.
What's New
Due to a bug in Apple's iOS 18, in some locations the month in the Date Picker dialog could be a month off. Version 5.1.5 circumvents the bug for iOS 18 users until it can be properly fixed by Apple. We also fixed some external links that were not opening from within the app, and linked to our new social media account on Bluesky.

User Reviews
Favorite feature: set alarm for best time to go for a hike. Feature request: shadow of gnomon should indicate an approximate sundial effect. Recently learned: You need to swipe the area under the date to show more info. Double-tap that to start or start a newsfeed animation.
I like to be outside around sunrise and sunset every day so with its alarms you can offset to solar events it’s great.
Sol Sun Clock is an invaluable resource for my life in the Arctic. Day light changes radically from winter’s twenty one hours of darkness to summer’s twenty four hours of direct sunlight. Knowing the times of sunrise and sunset is critical for photographic interests as well as knowing what light can be expected through each day of the year. The Sol Sun Clock is the most frequently used app of all apps in my iPhone. Thank you for your support and service. AL7MI (Amateur Radio Station Call Sign)
I wish it had UVB rise and set times (40 degrees) kind of like the golden hour times. Golden hour maxes out at 20 degrees so it can’t be used for this the way it’s programmed. I also wish it had widgets. Other than that it’s one of the very best apps out there. I have to use a combination of Sunrise Sunset app, SolarWatch app, Daylight % app, Sun Exposure app, and this app, to get all the data I need.
This app has been a constant on my iPhone for over 10 years and I love it
For years, I’ve used this app to plot daylight and nighttime hours as well as the time in between. I’ve also taken many screen shots of the app in various states to regale friends. I really hope the publisher will continue to update the app … but I know nothing is forever. I would gladly pay to continue to have this app in my library. Thanks, Juggleware!
Easy to use, simple, and straightforward, and I’m surprised at all the uses I have found for it – – between travel planning, photography, and just organizing my day outdoors.
I use this app frequently and it is incredibly intuitive, user friendly, and very informative. Thank you for bringing this fine app forward. jmb
i hope this app stays for a long time—been using since 2013 and still love its simplicity and graphic beauty. i like the alarms, i use to stay in tune w/ solar noon and sunset. the round graphic helps me digest the phases of light, is fun to use.
If only I let this app influence my actual life more than I have. I plan to write about this because it is so important not to let the clock rule our lives.
I’ve been using this app for several years now. Noticed after updating my iPhone to IOS 18.0, that selecting a day other than today is not correct…seems to be a month ahead. For example, if I want to check what time Sunrise occurs on October 28th, I have to select September 28th to get the correct time.
