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

  • sunrise, sunset, & solar noon
  • civil, nautical, & astronomical twilight times
  • blue hour, & golden hour
  • moonrise, moonset, lunar noon, & lunar midnight
  • major moon phases

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.
