Suntimes displays astronomical event times in dialogs and widgets. It can also use events to schedule repeating alarms.

- blue hour, & golden hour
- moonrise, moonset, lunar noon, & lunar midnight
- major moon phases
- solstices, equinoxes, & cross-quarter days
Custom Events
Suntimes allows defining events with a user-defined angle. Similar to defaults, these custom events can be displayed in the app, in widgets, and used to schedule alarms.
Suntimes -> Settings -> User Interface
-> Manage Events
to configure
custom events.
Add, Edit
Tap to add an event. To edit an existing event, select an item, then tap edit. The edit dialog will be shown.
Enter a label, angle, and (optional) color, then tap to save the event.
The button toggles visibility of the event on the main screen.
Delete, Clear
To remove an event, select an item, then tap delete.
Use
: -> Clear
to clear all events.
When removing custom events, any alarms, notifications, or widgets using that event may no longer work and will need to be reconfigured.
Export, Import
Use
: -> Export
to export events to file, and
: -> Import
to import events from a previous export.
It is also possible to export or import events by creating or restoring a backup.
Add-on Events
Suntimes supports additional events through add-ons.
For example, Interval Midpoints can be used to schedule alarms between events (at calculated midpoints), and the Natural Hour app can be used to schedule alarms using roman time.
