## Description

Sun Seeker is a comprehensive solar tracking and compass app that visualizes the sun’s hourly direction, its equinox and solstice paths, sunrise and sunset times, twilight windows, and sun shadow. It combines a flat compass view with a 3D AR overlay to display the sun’s current position and path, a camera pointer to guide you toward the sun, and a map view with hourly elevations and arrows. You can pick any date and location (40,000+ cities offline supported) to see sun position for that day, along with civil, nautical, and astronomical twilight times.

It includes a surveyor view showing solar direction for each hour, and optional sun event notifications for golden hour, blue hour, twilight periods, or sun at a given heading. The app is ideal for photographers, cinematographers, real estate shoppers, drivers, campers, gardeners, and architects who plan around sunlight.
