Welcome

Suntimes will display a welcome screen to assist with initial configuration.

Tip

The welcome screen is automatically displayed the first time the app is launched. It can be revisited later from Suntimes -> Settings -> General -> Welcome.


Appearance

Suntimes supports light and dark themes, and can switch between them to match the system. It also includes high contrast versions of these themes.

Dark Theme Dark Theme Light Theme Light Theme

Suntimes supports larger text sizes (while also respecting the system’s text size settings). Choose a larger text size to improve readability.

Tip

Appearance settings can be changed later from Suntimes -> Settings -> User Interface -> Appearance.


User Interface

Suntimes can be customized to show or hide information. Choose the fields that should be displayed by the main screen (and hide others).

Tip

It is also possible to show custom events that occur when the sun is at a given angle.

User Interface settings can be changed later from Suntimes -> Settings -> User Interface.


Location

Select a place. Suntimes provides a locale specific default (and includes a large list of world places).

Location Location

Use Add World Places to add all defaults to the list of places, or Import to import a previously saved list.

Use Get Location to add the device’s current location to the list.

Note

The location is manually configured by default; Suntimes does not require location permissions (optional).


Time Zone

Select a time zone. Suntimes displays information using the system time zone by default.

Time Zone Time Zone

Tip

Choose a time zone within a couple hours of local mean time for best results.

Verify the time zone if reported times seem inaccurate or don’t make sense. A mismatch between the time zone and location is a common misconfiguration.


Alarms

Use Import to restore alarms from a previous installation of Suntimes.

Extra configuration may be required for alarms to work reliably. Please follow all recommendations if you intend to use alarm features.
