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.
Seven days scored for the work you actually do, across five profiles: landscape, portrait, street, A/V and audio. Plus a drone-flyability read on wind, gusts and visibility.
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.
Enter your kit once, and the whole app knows it.
Cameras with their sensor, lenses with their focal range, each with a weight. Group them into pack lists that roll up, and the same data drives the map’s field-of-view maths and every calculator prefill.
Every field calc a photographer reaches for, in one place.
Over twenty calculators across photo, video, audio and drone work: depth of field, ND and exposure, the NPF/500/600 star rules, shutter angle, distance delay, scan coverage and more. Offline, and prefilled from your own gear.
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.
