Know where to stand, and when.

Sunstead tells you when the sun sets tonight, which way to look, and whether the sky is worth going out for.

What it does

When. Tonight's sunset time, the compass bearing the sun will set on, and when golden and blue hour begin — computed from where you are, anywhere on earth.
Whether. A nightly read on the sky, from cloud data at the altitudes that actually colour a sunset, set against the past week so you know whether tonight is unusual.
Where. Ranked places to stand in mapped cities, scored on what you can actually see from them.
Alignments. The dates when the setting sun lines up with a city's street grid, worked out years ahead.

Your location stays on your device

Sunstead has no accounts and no servers. Sunset times, bearings and alignment dates are all computed on your phone. There is nowhere for us to store where you have been, because there is no “us” to send it to.
