iPhone & Apple Watch

Scan your yard. Find out what the sun actually does to it.

Walk the yard once. Every surface gets true direct-sun hours, raytraced from the real geometry — not guessed from a map. Then tap any spot and ask the only question that matters: what grows here?

The live compass dial showing sun bearing, altitude and shadow direction
Step one

Point the phone.

The dial orients to the world around you. Sun bearing and altitude on the ring, your shadow drawn opposite it at true length, sunrise and sunset marked at the exact bearings they cross the horizon — corrected for the ridge in front of you, not the flat-math one.

Step two

Drop something in and watch its shadow move.

Drag the hour and the shadow answers — 6:45 PM, 15 ft. 7:38 PM, 27 ft. 8:10 PM, 48 ft and right across the yard. Drop in a tree, a pergola, a vehicle or a solar panel and its shadow moves the same way. Tap any spot to read its hours of direct sun.

Step three

Or scan the whole yard at once.

On iPhone Pro, LiDAR captures the real geometry and every surface gets raytraced direct-sun hours — the fence line, under the tree, the strip beside the shed. Month by month, all year.

Step four

Then ask what grows there.

Plants scored against your hardiness zone, your soil and your measured light — with a straight answer about timing. "Last call — past the ideal window, but sown today it can still make it. Harvest ~late Sep, 24 days before frost."

Plan the yard around the sun

A food garden that actually fits your light.

Scan once, then reopen that scan on any date — winter light, June solstice — without rescanning. Place beds and structures and watch their shadow cost update live.

  • Frost-anchored planting windows: start indoors, direct sow, transplant, harvest
  • Projected harvest date and frost margin before you commit to a seed
  • Auto-Plan lays crop beds onto your sunniest ground to feed a household you describe
  • An honest list of what no garden of yours can grow
  • Watering from rainfall, evapotranspiration and a running soil-water balance

Best times, real water

When to go, and what to tie on.

Windows built from sun and moon position, season and light at your exact coordinates — then checked against the water itself. Live stream temperature from the nearest gauge, and the hatch that temperature actually implies.

  • Trout, bass, big game, birds, small game and surf
  • Live gauge temperature, distance and age — nine gauges nearby, five in their emergence window
  • Fly hatch charts by region, lures with how to fish them, a reading-water guide
  • Tides from NOAA harmonic data, buoy wave height, period and direction
  • Knots, field craft and a 188-term glossary — all offline

A weather app built for being outside

Not the forecast. The answer.

"100° today, sunset at 8:49 PM. Best window to be out: 4–9 PM. Keep it shady — strong UV, hat, shade, sunscreen." One card that tells you what to do with your afternoon.

  • UV burn timer tuned to your skin type, with safer windows
  • Air quality with a likely cause — wildfire smoke, ozone, a winter inversion
  • National Weather Service alerts, frost warnings and a Lock Screen rain nowcast
  • Thirty years of local storm history and the months that carry the most risk

On your wrist, Lock Screen and Home Screen

It tells you when it matters.

Sun and moon events, prime activity windows, frost tonight, air worth checking, aurora possible, severe weather for the ground you're standing on. Every category switchable, quiet hours respected, and all of it scheduled on the device — there is no push server.

Anywhere, even offline

The math runs on your phone. Not on someone's server.

Sun, moon, shadow, planting windows, activity windows and every field guide compute on the device itself. Drop into a canyon with no signal and the important half still works.
