CORE FEATURES

Golden Hour Planner

Plan every shoot with astronomical precision. Get exact times for sunrise, sunset, blue hour, golden hour, and civil, nautical, and astronomical twilight at your location. Sunrise and sunset are free; all other phases unlock with Pro. Calculated entirely on-device — no internet, no account, no tracking. Your location never leaves your phone. Essential for landscape, portrait, wedding, and travel photographers.

ND Filter Calculator with Timer

Calculate precise shutter speeds for single or stacked ND filters. Stack any combination of ND2, ND4, ND8, ND16, ND32, ND64, ND1000, and custom values. Instant results for silky waterfalls, smooth seas, and motion-blurred clouds. Built-in countdown timer with vibration and sound alerts ensures perfect timing. Save favorite filter combinations as presets.

Astrophotography Calculator

Calculate maximum shutter speed to avoid star trails using three proven methods: the 250 Rule optimized for modern high-resolution cameras, the traditional 300 Rule for conservative results, and the advanced NPF Rule that factors your specific lens aperture and sensor pixel size for pinpoint stars. Includes presets for OM System OM-1 II, Nikon Z8/Z9, Canon R3, and many more. Inspired by the work of Frédéric Michaud and the astrophotography community.

Film Reciprocity Calculator with Timer

70 professional film stocks with accurate reciprocity failure corrections — including Kodak Portra 160/400/800, Kodak Ektar 100, Kodak Ektachrome E100, CineStill 400D, Harman Phoenix 200, Ilford HP5 Plus, Ilford Delta 100/400/3200, Ilford FP4 Plus, Ilford SFX 200, Ilford Ortho Plus 80, Fuji Acros 100, and Lomography Color 200.
