More About Helios
INTRODUCTION
The golden hour is the period of daytime shortly after sunrise or before sunset, during which daylight is redder and softer than when the Sun is higher in the sky. The opposite period during twilight is the blue hour, just before sunrise or after sunset, when indirect sunlight is evenly diffused. Photography during magic hours is proven to result in better photos than pictures taken at any other time of the day. The app is available around the globe and works without internet connection. It's an essential tool for all photographers and videographers.
DESIGN
Helios features a beautiful design that follows iOS 12 design language with incredible precision, making the experience truly breathtaking. An elegant dark theme is also available.
FEATURES
With advanced tools like augmented reality lens and built-in light meter, planning your photos has never been easier. Powerful calendar and map tool can predict magic hour times, as well as sun and moon positions with extreme accuracy for days, weeks or even months in advance. By saving other locations, you can make sure you'll be prepared to capture the world around you wherever life takes you. Daily notifications help you stay up to date with slightest changes in time and duration of sunset, sunrise and magic hours.

What's New in Helios 4.0.0 >
*mic noises* Akhm, is this still on? Thanks everyone for using Helios over the past few years! This is a major and long overdue complete rewrite of the app. Here's what's new:
- New "Outlook" tab replaces the "Today" screen. It features a beautiful new Sun graphic inspired by the old design, but better in every way. Magic hour times are now shown vertically, show more data, and allow you to dive further into each event.
- new "Places" tab replaces the "Location" screen. It's designed from the ground up, but feels familiar and works exactly as you'd expect.
- The "Tools" tab also features a major redesign. It's more dense, but includes all the tools you're familiar with.
- This release fixes various issues, including weird timezone edge cases, odd behaviours in the Southern Hemisphere, and more.
- Notifications have been rewritten from scratch to consume less energy.
- iPad design has been better optimized for the big screen.
- Apple Watch app has been redone from scratch with a bold new design featuring the familiar Sun graphic and more data.
- New widgets, including a beautiful Sun graphic that looks *soooo* cool, give it a try!
- We bumped up the minimum iOS version to iOS 17, so we can better support new iOS features now and in the future.
