Sunclock - Sunrise Sunset Moon 4.18

Sunclock is an astronomical clock that provides a wide range of astronomical data on an analog dial, such as sunrise, sunset, true noon, twilight phases, moonrise, moonset, moon phase information, sidereal time, solar time, equation of time, and coordinated universal time (UTC).

The dial options include a unique double dial with 12 and 24-hour formats, a classic 24-hour dial, or a special spiral dial. Additionally, Sunclock showcases ancient time measurement systems based on dividing the day into twelve hours from sunrise to sunset, featuring Byzantine Time, Roman Time, Athonite Time, Lost Time, Horae Temporales, Jewish clock variations, old Arabic clock methods including Arabic hour names and the Alaturka hour system.

Other unique time systems represented by Sunclock divide the day from sunrise to sunset into six or eight divisions, like Rāhu Kalam in Vedic astrology, Wadokei as a traditional Japanese clock, or 時辰 representing traditional Chinese hours with earthly branches.

The application also includes religious time displays such as the Roman Catholic Liturgy of the Hours and Islamic Prayer Times (using 8 calculation methods) like Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha prayers along with Tahajjud.

Sunclock stands out by offering more than standard time-keeping functionality. It elevates your device into an astronomical clock with an analog display that not only shows the time but also highlights the natural beauty of light through sunrise and sunset times and twilight periods. Key celestial events like golden and blue hours for photographers seeking perfect lighting moments are accurately presented.

With its moon-related features like moonrise and moonset times along with moon phases displayed, Sunclock helps anticipate moonlit nights or darker hours. Tidal patterns are also made predictable through this tool.

Customization options in the Clock Gallery allow users to tailor their time display by adjusting size and color preferences. This personal touch can be shared with others by using Sunclock as an app, widget or wallpaper.

Exploration goes beyond standard timekeeping with Sunclock's interactive element; users can swipe the screen to simulate any date or time. Discover cosmic, cultural, and religious phenomena unique to each hour and day regardless of your location. Automatic animation features enhance the user experience.
