One app. Everything that decides a shot.
Aperilux does not take the photo — it makes sure you are in the right place, at the right time, pointed the right way. Here is everything inside.
See exactly where the light will fall — before you drive two hours.
One map, four domains: Day, Night, Target and Drone. Scrub time to watch the sun, moon and Milky-Way core arc across your scene, with lens field-of-view and focal coverage laid over the real terrain.
Sun + lens coverage free · FOV/focal modes & Drone map on PRO
A forecast that rates the sky, not just the temperature.
Photographer-tuned scoring for golden light, afterglow and fog, plus a drone-flyability read on wind, gusts and gaps — so you know whether tonight is worth it and whether it is safe to fly.
Plan the trip, save the spot, get reminded to be there.
Organise shoots into projects and spots, export routes as GPX, and let a Live Activity count down to the moment the light arrives on your lock screen.
Free for 2 projects × 2 spots · unlimited on PRO · Live Activity is iOS-only
Tonight's sky, at a glance — on the home screen.
The Today dashboard summarises sun, moon and the best window to shoot; the Golden-Hour widget puts a live countdown and sky-colour rating on your home screen.

Hold up your phone and see where the sun and Milky Way will be.
Point the camera at your scene and Aperilux overlays the sun and moon arcs and the galactic core in real space — align a composition before the light exists.
Every field calc a photographer reaches for, in one place.
Depth of field, hyperfocal, exposure and ND, the NPF/500/600 star rules, diffraction, timelapse, panorama and focus-stacking — precise, offline, no signal required.
Frame it right, live in the viewfinder.
Rule-of-thirds, golden ratio, diagonals and grid overlays on a live camera preview — or drop them over a reference photo to plan a return visit.
Rule-of-thirds free · full overlay set on PRO
Never miss a supermoon, meteor peak or solstice again.
A 12-month calendar of meteor-shower peaks, moon phases, supermoons and solstices/equinoxes — computed for your location, not a generic almanac.
