ShootLight is a shoot-planning app for photographers and videographers. It reads the sun, the sky, and the weather together, scores every hour of the day, and helps you build a shoot day around the conditions that actually matter.
Built by a working production company.
THE SHOOT SCORE
Every location and every hour gets one clear read — Don't bother / Workable / Good to shoot / Great window — based on:
• Sun angle, golden hour, blue hour, and twilight (computed on your device)
• Cloud by layer: a low marine deck flattens the light, while high cirrus can light up a sunset
• Wind, rain, visibility, haze, and fog risk
Tap any rating to see exactly why it scored that way, and whether the next hour improves or fades.
SEE THE CONDITIONS
• A 3D sun-path arc projected over the real terrain at your location
• Shadow Mode — plant a sundial and watch its shadow move as you scrub through the day
• AR Sky — trace the sun and moon across the real sky through your camera
• Hour-by-hour charts for cloud, wind, rain, visibility, temperature, and UV
PLAN THE SHOOT DAY
• Pick your locations — each scored by its own sun and weather
• Route by best light, fastest, or midday
• Shoot both golden hours, with a midday break in between
• Traffic-aware drive times, including a "leave home by" time from your home base
• Set shoot time per stop and the whole day recalculates
• Add notes per location — gate codes, parking, what to shoot
• Export a shoot-day PDF for your crew or client
WEATHER BUILT FOR A SHOOT
Cloud by layer, wind and gusts, precipitation radar, satellite cloud loops, visibility and haze, fog risk, and a 7-day outlook that scores the week ahead so you can pick the right day.
Powered by Apple Weather and Open-Meteo, with MET Norway as a backup. Sun and moon positions are computed on your device.
