Skylight not only tells you when important events like golden hour and sunset happen, but does something magical: with the help of lots of weather and environmental data, machine learning and a pinch of magic, the app gives you a brief forecast.
Skylight is the new app from the Apple Design Award winning team of friends behind Halide Camera and Spectre that magically predicts what the quality of light in your evening will be.
Is it going to be a clear, great golden hour and spectacular sunset, with a scarlet lingering afterglow, or a dim and cloudy glow on the horizon? Checking the app or widget will help you get out the door when you are chasing the light.
The Skylight prediction model uses many atmospheric factors near your location to make a prediction about golden hour, sunset and afterglow.
With a quick, scannable forecast and extra information about conditions, Skylight takes out the guesswork when it comes to the most beautiful light of the day.
Finally, the afterglow of a sunset is the period of time when the sun’s light can still color the sky and clouds in beautiful, vibrant colors.
Skylight uses background location services by default for constantly updating forecasts and to update your local forecast requiring you to repeatedly open the app.
Golden hour is the period of time directly before sunset, when the light is at its most beautiful.
Skylight needs Location Services to create forecasts for your local light.
Whether you are trying to plan a photoshoot or simply love beautiful sunsets, Skylight can be a fantastic utility to check every afternoon.
We truly love making apps — it’s truly our dream to create something like Skylight, and we hope you love it.
Skylight is made by Lux, a group of three friends with a passion for making gorgeous, innovative apps.
Skylight builds on our tradition of making thoughtfully crafted, beautiful products.
We previously brought you Halide Camera, the Apple Design Award winning camera app for iPhone and iPad, and Spectre, the iPhone App of the Year of 2019.
