SunreachThe app
Every tool in Sunreach
Sunreach answers one question for any spot on Earth: when is it in the sun? These are the tools built around that answer, each with what it does, how it works and how to use it, shown with a moving picture of what you get and screenshots of the app.
Sunreach is coming soon to iPhone and iPad. Screenshots were taken in the iOS Simulator on 26 and 27 October 2026. “Pro” marks a tool that needs Sunreach Pro; each page says what is free.
Plan the light
When the sun reaches a spot, on any day, and what the light will do around it.
Sun on the spot
When direct sun really reaches a place, with the mountains counted, plus golden and blue hour.
Year view and day picker
Twelve months of sun on your spot in one chart, with solstices, equinoxes and moon phases.
Light report
The best light of the day, shoot windows for people, landscape and night, shared as a PDF or image.
Peak light and fog
How long the summits stay lit after your spot is in shade, and whether the valley will fill with fog.
Polariser guide
Where a polarising filter darkens the sky most, whether today’s cloud leaves it worth using, and when water looks clear.
Moon, Milky Way and eclipses
Moonrise over the real skyline, the Milky Way core window and the eclipses you can see from your spot.
Aurora forecast
The live aurora oval on a night globe, the Kp your own spot needs over its skyline, and where to drive tonight.
See it before you go
The same sun over the map, over 3D terrain and over your camera view.
Sun map and moving the pin
The day’s sun directions around your pin on the map, a map that turns with you, and a pin you can drag.
3D view
Real terrain with moving shadows: orbit around a place, stand at eye level or lift a drone camera.
AR sun path
Hold up your iPhone where you stand and see the sun’s path, the skyline and the peaks over the camera view.
