Terms & EULA

1. App Store edition and website preview

Sunrise: Plan Sunlight is available on the App Store for iPhone and iPad with iOS 17 or later. It supports place search, optional current location, manual coordinates, explicit time zones, solar readings, date comparison, local saved plans, backups and user-initiated exports. The Santa Monica image on this website is labelled as an earlier development preview; it is not a screenshot of every current screen or a promise of additional features.

2. Apple’s standard EULA

The App Store edition uses Apple’s standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement rather than a custom licence. You can read it here:

Apple Standard End User License Agreement (EULA) ↗

Any App Store licence and applicable Apple service terms govern that distribution. This page does not replace them or limit mandatory consumer rights.

3. Understand the limits

Sun direction, height and event times are solar-geometry estimates. The map’s direction line is illustrative: it is not a shadow length, obstruction model or travel route. Results do not account for clouds, terrain, nearby buildings or trees and do not guarantee direct sunlight or a particular photographic result. The app does not promise augmented reality, shade simulation or building/terrain obstruction modelling.

This is not a surveying instrument, engineering certification, navigation aid, weather service or safety system. Check the date, time zone, place and real-world conditions before making decisions. Never look directly at the sun or use an unprotected camera or optical device to view it.

4. Saved data and availability

The app stores plans in a local library with recoverable Trash and portable backups you export to a destination you choose. Keep your own device backups if the data matters to you. Map search and map content may need an internet connection, while manual coordinate entry and solar calculations run on-device. App Store availability depends on your region and device.

5. Payments

Your first complete saved plan, including editing, date comparison and sharing, is free. Additional saved plans require an optional one-time lifetime in-app purchase, not a subscription. The app shows the actual local price before you confirm through Apple. Use Restore Purchases in Settings or on the purchase screen with the Apple account used for the purchase. This website does not take payment or create a paid commitment.

6. Fair use and responsibility

Please use the site and app lawfully and do not interfere with their operation or access systems without permission. We aim to keep information useful and accurate. Nothing in these terms excludes responsibilities that cannot legally be excluded.

7. Privacy and questions

Read our Privacy Policy for data handling. For questions about these terms, the app or an accessibility issue, contact support.
