Sunlitt App Store screenshots

On-frame caption: “Plan with Sun and Shade”

Frame One stacks two iPhone 15 Pro units on the warm cream ground near #F2EFE6. The front-left device floods its screen with a flat yellow near #FACC15, showing a white rounded 3D cube casting a brown shadow beneath an orbital arc. Caption pills read 'Today', 'Now', and '02:30 PM'. A bottom sheet reads 'San Francisco, CA' and 'SAN FRANCISCO, CA (PDT)' inside a translucent dark strip with a 'Map' button above it. The rear-right phone shows an AR photo of Lake Tahoe with the same arc and sun disc overlaid, plus '05:30 PM' and Lake Tahoe location data. Above the hardware, the word 'Sunlitt' sits beside a yellow diamond icon. Below it, the store headline reads 'Plan with' in grey and 'Sun and Shade' in near-black. Beneath the devices, two award badges are centred: 'APPLE DESIGN AWARD FINALIST 2024' and 'APP OF THE DAY' with 'APP STORE' sub-copy, flanked by grey laurels. A footer strip reads 'HELPFUL TOOLS • YOUR ULTIMATE PHOTO & VIDEO TOOLKIT EXPLORE NATURE • BIG APPS FROM SMALL TEAMS' in tracked small caps. The composition is dense: the overlapping phones create depth, but the location sheets are cropped by the lower frame edge and the footer tags compete with the award lockup for attention.

On-frame caption: “Sun Path in AR”

Frame Two isolates the AR camera view in a single centred iPhone against the same cream ground. The status bar reads 9:41. Across the top, three translucent charcoal pills display '1:2.24', '261° W', and '24°'. A thick white arrow points downward toward a large white sun disc that sits on a grey trajectory line slicing diagonally across the photograph of pine trees and lake water. UI pills are placed at the same cardinal positions as Frame One: 'Today' left, 'Now' upper-right, and '05:30 PM' lower-right. A bottom toolbar with three icons—calendar, AR glyph, and sun—sits inside a frosted dark strip, with the sheet below reading 'Lake Tahoe, CA' and 'SOUTH LAKE TAHOE (PDT)'. By pulling the AR view out of the collage and giving it a full frame, the designers make the value proposition instantly legible, though the downward arrow competes visually with the actual sun glare in the photograph.

On-frame caption: “Shadow Map”

Frame Three swaps the camera feed for a 3D rendered map of downtown San Francisco, viewed from a steep oblique angle. The palette cools to desaturated concrete greys, steel blues, and park greens. The orbital arc is superimposed over the city grid, anchoring the interface language. The bottom toolbar introduces map-specific controls: an orange sun toggle, a magnifier, a '2D' mode button, a layers icon, and a compass marked 'N'. The location sheet at the bottom reads 'San Francisco, CA' and 'SAN FRANCISCO, CA (PDT)'. A small 'mapbox' attribution peeks out at the lower right edge. By retaining the 'Now', 'Today', and '05:30 PM' pills in identical positions, the designers establish a persistent dashboard hierarchy: time and mode on the periphery, spatial data in the centre. The crop is tight to the device, with no extraneous background, letting the isometric buildings fill the canvas.

On-frame caption: “Solar Events Info & Timings”

Frame Four abruptly shifts to a dark-mode list view. The header bleeds a golden-yellow gradient behind the status bar, echoing the brand colour from Frames One and Five, before dropping into a near-black surface around #121212. White text lists solar events with paired timestamps: 'First light 06:47 AM', 'Blue hour 06:47 → 06:57 AM', 'Sunrise 07:13 AM', 'Golden hour 06:57 → 07:48 AM', 'Solar noon 01:17 PM', 'Golden hour 06:48 → 07:39 PM', and 'Sunset' truncated at the bottom edge. A top summary card shows 'Mostly Clear' alongside metrics 'Shadow Ratio 1 : 1.90', 'Azimuth 114° SE', and 'Altit' cut off by the card edge. Each row carries a small illustrative icon on the right. A bottom navigation area reads 'Today | 09:41 AM' with a search icon, and a floating pill states 'Works Offline', overlapping the content slightly. The switch from vivid outdoor photography to dense data table proves utility, but the 'Altit' truncation and the cramped offline pill suggest the screenshot mockup was cropped without safe-area padding.

On-frame caption: “Sun Position Shadow Preview”

Frame Five returns to the saturated yellow ground near #FACC15 with a subtle gradient deepening toward the bottom near #FB923C. A white rounded cube sits at the centre, casting a long brown shadow across the screen. The orbital arc is dotted with small tick marks, and the current position is marked by a white disc at roughly two o'clock. 'Today' floats in a white pill on the left; 'Now' sits in a dark pill on the right; '04:40 PM' anchors the lower right. A 'Map' button with a globe icon is centred just above the location sheet, which again names 'San Francisco, CA' and 'SAN FRANCISCO, CA (PDT)'. By pulling back to this simplified, theatre-like staging, the designers make the sun-shadow relationship comprehensible without photographic distraction. The status bar remains fully visible, and the Dynamic Island sits cleanly in the yellow void, confirming the background was composed with safe-area awareness.

On-frame caption: “Landform Shadows”

Frame Six extends the map concept into terrain visualisation. The iPhone displays a green topographic expanse around Lake Tahoe, with contour shading and a dominant rocky outcrop casting a soft rendered shadow across the valley. Labels like 'Eagle Rock Trailhead' appear natively on the map. The familiar orbital arc and time pills persist—'Today', 'Now', and '05:40 PM'—but the bottom toolbar gains a mountain icon beside the standard compass, 2D, and search controls. The palette is almost pastel: mint greens, slate roads, and pale building footprints. The location sheet reads 'Lake Tahoe, CA' and 'SOUTH LAKE TAHOE (PDT)'. This frame answers the question of scale: the app works at street level and at landscape level. The consistency of the sun-path overlay means the user can read the same visual grammar across radically different zoom contexts.

On-frame caption: “Apple Watch App”

Frame Seven is the only non-iPhone frame, presenting three Apple Watch Ultra units in a loose triangular cluster against the cream ground. The top-right watch runs a yellow face showing '05:15 PM' with the white diamond glyph, an arc, and 'SOUTH LAKE TAHOE (PDT)' at the bottom; its time reads 10:09. The left watch shifts to a coral-orange face reading '07:28 PM' at the same 10:09 time. The bottom-right watch shows a compressed list view with 'Azimuth 265° W', 'Altitude 18°', and timing rows for 'First light 06:02 AM', 'Blue hour 06:02 → 06:13 AM', and 'Sunrise 06:29 AM', the latter truncated. By varying the band colours—orange, grey-yellow, and neutral—the Apple hardware itself becomes part of the colour story. The scattered placement breaks the single-device rhythm established earlier, signalling platform breadth, though the list text on the bottom watch is illegible at thumbnail size.

On-frame caption: “Widgets Lock & Home”

Frame Eight closes by abandoning device hardware entirely and floating four iOS widgets on the cream ground. A large upper widget blends coral and deep blue gradients to show 'Golden hour' with a countdown timer at '34:15', a segmented progress bar, and times '6:58 PM' to '7:49 PM'. Below that, a Lock-Screen-style widget reads 'SAN FRANCISCO Golden hour Now' with a half-arc spanning '06:42 AM' to '07:33 PM', plus flashlight and camera icons. Lower left, stark type reads 'SAN FRANCISCO Golden Hour 3 h 20 min' in black. A small square widget in navy displays 'MUNICH in 1h 20m' with a crescent moon, while a Naples widget glows orange reading 'Golden hour 7 h 50 m' with arrow buttons. A final dark rectangular widget lists 'TOKYO (GMT+9)' with 'Sunrise 5:30 AM' and 'Sunset 6:57 PM', plus a truncated right column. The variety of sizes demonstrates flexibility, but the composition is loose; the widgets do not align to a strict grid, and the negative space between them is uneven, making the frame feel more like a mood board than a deliberate layout.
