Alpenglow: Sunrise & Sunset Forecasts

Perfect your sunrise and sunset photography with Alpenglow: Sunrise & Sunset Forecasts, the app that predicts not just when the sun rises and sets, but how spectacular the light will actually be.

Unlike standard sunrise time apps, Alpenglow combines precise timing data with intelligent quality forecasts powered by a custom-built prediction model. Before you wake up early or plan your golden hour shoot, you'll know exactly how good the conditions are expected to be. This means no more wasted trips chasing mediocre skies—only the moments worth capturing.

Stay ahead of perfect light with comprehensive timing features. Alpenglow tracks sunrise, sunset, golden hour, magic hour, and blue hour times, giving you complete control over your shooting schedule. The dedicated sunrise and sunset quality forecasts use global weather data updated multiple times daily, continuously learning and improving from real-world field reports submitted by the community. You can contribute your own observations after each sunrise or sunset, directly helping refine predictions for everyone.

Plan with confidence using forecasts up to 7 days ahead, explore worldwide forecast maps to scout conditions around the globe, and set smart notifications that alert you only when conditions exceed your personal threshold. Flexible reminders ensure you never miss a great moment, while the sun direction map shows exactly where light will appear on the horizon. Quick-access widgets keep upcoming events and forecasts visible at a glance, and both light and dark modes adapt to your preference.

Alpenglow is free to download and use, with optional Pro features for serious photographers and planners. Pro users unlock extended 7-day forecasts, worldwide forecast maps for location scouting, intelligent alerts triggered only by exceptional conditions, automatic alarm scheduling for optimal light, and advanced widget customization.

Your privacy matters. Location data stays on your device and is never uploaded or stored online, giving you complete control over your information while still receiving hyper-local forecasts.

Whether you're a landscape photographer planning your next expedition, a content creator hunting golden hour magic, or simply someone who doesn't want to miss a beautiful sky, Alpenglow: Sunrise & Sunset Forecasts transforms sunrise and sunset forecasting from guesswork into strategy.
