Sonnenverlauf SolarWatch AR — version history

Custom alarm names now show right when your solar alarms ring, so you know exactly what triggered the alert. Outdoor-time Live Activities keep your timer up to date on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, even when you switch apps or lock your device. Send feedback with more email apps, including Apple Mail, Gmail, Outlook, Proton Mail, Spark, and Yahoo Mail. We improved solar terrain shadows for more reliable results, strengthened Vitamin D tracking for steadier readings, and refined widgets, favorites, AR controls, and city search for a smoother, faster experience.

This update fixes three small bugs to improve your daily experience: - Suggested Watch complications now refresh correctly after you edit your favorite locations, so your watch stays up to date. - Outdoors Live Activity now displays your up-to-date UV and Vitamin D absorption values, so you can stay outdoors with confidence. - 3-D shadows now renders terrain shadows correctly again, restoring the accurate depth and lighting you expect.

Enjoy a refreshed Home Screen, Lock Screen, and Apple Watch experience, including updated widgets and a new eclipse countdown complication. Explore shadow maps with smoother, faster interactions, so you can pan, zoom, and preview eclipse shadows with less waiting. Plan ahead by opening upcoming solar eclipses directly from Siri and Shortcuts. Get Muslim prayer times using your location and solar data, with configurable calculation methods to match your preferences.

Plan your next eclipse with more useful local context. We’ve improved visibility details, potential viewing information, clear-sky guidance, and timing so you can better plan when to look. Track Vitamin D more accurately with a single, unified daylight timeline. Outdoor sessions and Health’s Time in Daylight now combine into one view for clearer progress. Get a clearer Vitamin D chart and smarter widget updates during daylight, so your information stays up to date without waiting. We also improved VoiceOver support, localization, and reliability across AR, eclipse, alarm, and widget experiences.

Sun time now gets its moment in the sun. Start an outdoor session and SolarWatch keeps your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island updated with UV, vitamin D progress, elapsed time, and a gentle nudge when it may be time to head back in. Also new: terrain data has a tidy new home in Settings, Health and widgets are better at keeping outdoor sessions in sync. And Solar AR is a bit more patient about finding true north before pointing at the sky and has bunch of little improvements.

This update brings a new local eclipse sky simulation. Tap an eclipse map pin to preview what you will see at that location, including the Sun and Moon positions, key contact moments, and the time and maximum eclipse conditions. Solar alarms now use the actual terrain horizon for sunrise, sunset, elevation, and shadow-ratio alerts. You can also use rising and setting controls to create custom elevation alarms that trigger only when the Sun reaches your chosen angle. Terrain horizon calculations are cached more intelligently, so terrain shadows and terrain-aware alarm previews load faster after the first calculation. Shadow maps also get a cleaner viewing option: you can hide the sun path compass whenever you want an unobstructed look at light and shade.

Terrain shadows are here. SolarWatch shadow maps now include hills and mountains, not just buildings. You’ll get a clearer, more realistic view of how sunlight changes across the actual land around you, so you can plan with confidence when terrain blocks the sun. This update also brings shadow-ratio alarms to help you spot when shade is likely to increase past your chosen threshold. We improved alarm setup and the preview experience, making it easier to fine-tune notifications before you rely on them. Favorites and widget timelines are also more reliable across SolarWatch, Apple Watch, and your Home Screen, so your key locations stay up to date where you look.

Meet the Solar Eclipse Catalog. Explore every solar eclipse from 2000 to 2200 with high quality data validated against published NASA eclipse records. Enjoy beautiful globe visualizations that show where and when the eclipse is visible, plus Simulation Mode to watch the Moon’s shadow sweep across the Earth in real time. Get accurate, detailed local information for planning your trip, including local timing details you can use to schedule viewing. You’ll also get a brand new Eclipse Countdown Widget, designed to help you track the next major event at a glance. Everything in this update is built in preparation for the August 2026 full solar eclipse.
