The sun rises and sets, every single day. It’s an experience we share as humans, something that connects everyone in the world. But in our crazy modern world, it’s easy to get disconnected. School, work, kids, stress...they all pull us away from the experiences that bind us together and make us human. Sunchime helps you stay connected. It’s intentionally simple and focused, and doesn’t try to do a thousand things. It does one thing well: keep you in sync with the oldest clock on Earth. At sunrise and sunset, Sunchime reminds you to pause, step outside, and take in the moment. To be present and reflect on the upcoming day or the one that’s just finished. To reconnect to the sun’s rhythm and to the millions of people around the world who, at that very same instant, are watching the sun rise or set with you. With Sunchime, you can: - Plan your day knowing exactly when the sun will rise or set (automatically updated for wherever you are) - Pause to take a moment, be present, and reflect when the day begins and ends - Mark the moment the sun crosses the horizon with beautiful sounds and and subtle haptics - Watch a beautiful sunrise or sunset animation even when you’re indoors or under clouds - Know when to leave so you get to your favorite sunrise or sunset spot in time to see the big event - Keep track of when the sun rises and sets at your favorite locations around the world (where a loved one lives, or an iconic place like the summit of Mt. Everest) - Find your “sun buddy”, a city or place experiencing the “opposite” sun event from you (who sees the sunrise at the exact moment you watch the sunset?) - Know when the polar day and night will end (shout out to Santa, penguins, and all our other extreme latitude friends) What people are saying about Sunchime: - “Sunchime is one of those rare apps that feels intentional in every detail.” — S.G. - “It’s so nice to get a little reminder every day to take a breath and look outside to see the sunset.” — G.G. - “I have a lot of trouble living in the moment, but this app helps me so much.
