Thresholds
Ever wanted to know at an easy glance when the sunset will be today or when will it get dark? You're in the right place; you can easily set up a threshold to see when the sun will transition to a given angle range, here are a few examples:
 • sunrise and sunset (default)
 • start/end of twilights (presets)
 • UV/B benefits (preset) ↓
 • Any custom angle
If you want more of these, just put more widgets, they are don't occupy much home screen space.

UV/B benefits
Your health can benefit from – not more than 30 minutes a day – exposure to the Sun when it's high enough. The atmosphere only lets UV/B rays through when the Sun is above 50°. This is not a health advice, read more on this:

Parts of the day
The widget will display the following part of the day, each with a corresponding background image:
 • sunrise, sunset at 0°: short period of time when the Sun transitions over the horizon
 • day-time, night: longer parts of the day when the Sun is farthest from the horizon
 • civil twilight, dawn/dusk at -6°: the sky is dull blue, lighting conditions are suitable for every-day activities, but there are no shadows
 • nautical twilight, dawn/dusk at -12°: the sky is very dark blue, some stars become visible, the horizon is still visible
 • astronomical twilight, dawn/dusk at -18°: the sky is already black, stars become apparently visible

Permissions
GPS Location: the Sun's position highly depends on where on Earth you are. Few kilometers away and the sunset already a few minutes different. Don't worry about battery drain, the widget uses the last location if available. Only updates when the screen is on every 30 minutes; or when you tap it.

Background Location: home screen widgets need to access location all the time in order to show up-to-date information.

Any feedback is warmly welcome and will be taken into consideration!
