Widgets, Lock Screen, Live Activity and Apple Watch

Keep a spot’s light in view without opening the app. The widget shows the next golden or blue hour with a countdown and the day’s sun drawn as a glowing arc over that spot’s own skyline, on a background that matches the sky right now: blue by day, warm at golden hour, starry at night.

The small widget is free; every size, Live Activity and the Watch app are part of Sunreach Pro.

Sunreach is coming soon to iPhone and iPad; screenshots are from the iOS Simulator, 26–27 October 2026.

An iPhone Home Screen in the iOS Simulator with two Sunreach widgets for Bovec: medium and small Light at a spot widgets counting down to golden hour (16:18 – 17:19), with sun on the spot until 16:31, blue hour at 17:19 and the day's sun as a gold arc over the skyline.
Home ScreenMedium and small Light at a spot widgets for Bovec an hour before golden hour: the countdown, the next sun, golden and blue hour times, and the day’s sun over the skyline.

What it does

Light at a spot comes in small, medium, large and extra large (iPad), and in the Lock Screen sizes. It follows the last spot you opened or a saved spot you choose. Your spots compares up to six saved spots: sun now, next golden hour and today’s hours of sun.

A Live Activity follows the light window in progress or the next one on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. The Sun path in AR control opens AR from Control Center, the Lock Screen or the Action button. The Apple Watch app shows the same spot with the day’s sun, the windows and the moon, plus complications.

How it works

The app writes each spot’s day (with its skyline) for the widgets when you open it, so widgets show terrain-aware times without loading terrain themselves.

How to use it

  1. Touch and hold the Home Screen, tap Edit > Add Widget and search for Sunreach.
  2. Pick Light at a spot or Your spots and a size, then Add Widget.
  3. To choose the spot, touch and hold the widget and edit it; by default it follows the last spot you opened.
  4. For a Live Activity, open a spot and tap … > Track on Lock Screen.

In the app

The large Light at a spot widget for Bovec: golden hour in 57 minutes, the day's sun over the skyline with sun on the spot from 08:08 to 16:31 (8 h 23 min), the day's light windows with sun on spot highlighted, and tomorrow's sun 08:11 – 16:27.
Large widgetThe large size adds the day’s windows (morning blue and golden hour, sun on the spot 08:08–16:31, evening golden and blue hour) and tomorrow’s sun.
The Your spots widget: Bovec with golden hour at 16:18 and 8 h 23 min of sun today, Riffelsee with golden hour at 16:42 and 8 h 40 min, each with a bar for its share of the daylight.
Your spotsCompare saved spots: next golden hour, hours of sun today and how much of the daylight that is.

Tips

  • Put the small widget on a Lock Screen-sized stack for a trip spot: the countdown says how long until golden hour.

Good to know

  • The Home Screen shot comes from the Simulator; the large and Your spots images are drawn from the widgets’ own code with the same data. The widgets have not yet been checked on many real Home Screens.
  • The Apple Watch app builds but has not been run on a watch yet; it may not be in the first release.
