ScoutKit

Now with expanded marine intelligence — wave heights, swells, and currents — plus swipeable sunrise and sunset forecasts up to 5 days out.

Every photographer knows the frustration — you drove two hours, hiked to the overlook, and the light just… wasn't there. The conditions didn't cooperate. The moment didn't materialize.

ScoutKit exists so that when you press the shutter, it matters.

Built for photographers, ScoutKit delivers the planning intelligence you need to be in the right place at the right time — not by luck, but by design. Check cloud cover across multiple atmospheric layers, track golden hour and blue hour windows, monitor tide cycles, and evaluate sunrise or sunset conditions before you ever leave the house.

Save the locations that matter to you. Monitor conditions throughout the day and hours leading up to your shoot. Show up knowing what the sky, the water, and the light are going to do.

No account required. No login. Just open ScoutKit and start planning your next shoot.

Key features include: • Multi-layer cloud analysis — See coverage across low, mid, and high atmospheric layers to judge whether a sunrise or sunset is worth the drive. • Tide data for coastal shoots — Time your sessions around water levels for tidal pools, sea stacks, reflections, and long exposure opportunities. • Golden hour, blue hour & astronomical timing — Know exactly when the light transitions happen at any location, any day of the year. • Location scouting & tagging — Save and organize the spots that matter to you for easy monitoring and future sessions. • Animated weather map overlays — Watch cloud banks, precipitation, and fronts move through your area so you know when conditions will clear or change.

The best light isn't luck — it's planning.
