Know when light
hits – before
you drive there.
Listing Light tells real estate photographers exactly when direct sunlight hits the front of any property – so you can schedule the shoot, not guess at it.
Plan from your phone, anywhere. Arrive with confidence.
Every feature is built around a single professional question: when should I show up to get the best light on the front of this house?
See exactly when direct sunlight hits the front facade – Best, Good, and Avoid windows for any date. Calculated using NOAA-derived sun position math, entirely offline. Switch dates in seconds when an agent asks about another day.
The app reads public building and parcel data to estimate which direction the front of the house faces – automatically, from your desk. Confirm it or override it with an 8-point compass or typed degrees. No trip to the property required.
Tap any shooting window to create a calendar event pre-filled with the address, exact start and end times, and light category. Works with your existing iOS calendar – no new accounts, no calendar app required.
Works across all 50 states. NJ and MA use state-level parcel data for highest precision. All other states use building footprint data from OpenStreetMap.
Once a property is saved, solar windows recalculate offline – no cell coverage needed. Useful in basements, rural areas, or anywhere signal is unreliable on location.
Optional WeatherKit integration scores each shooting window for precipitation, cloud cover, and wind. The app can recommend the best-weather day across a 10-day window – just turn it on in Settings.
Properties, notes, and saved directions sync privately via iCloud. Look up a property on your iPhone, pull up the same data on your iPad. No account needed – it’s all Apple ID syncing.
Plan the shoot from your phone.
Three steps, from call to calendar.
Designed for the way you actually work – an agent calls, you need an answer, you need it fast.
Street address and town is all you need. ZIP is optional. The app geocodes the property and opens the answer screen immediately – no waiting for direction detection to finish.
The app attempts to detect which way the house faces using building and road data. If detection succeeds, you’re done. If not, tap a direction on the compass rose – North, NE, East, and so on – or type the degrees directly.
Best and Good windows appear instantly for today or any date you pick. Tap a window to add a calendar event. Tap Details to see the full day’s sun position if you need it.
One price.
Real tools for working professionals shouldn’t come with a monthly bill. Try it free for 7 days. If it saves you one wasted trip, it’s paid for itself.
Available now on the App Store for iPhone. Requires iOS 18 or later.
Solar windows are calculated from the property’s coordinates and the detected front-facade direction using NOAA-derived sun position math. Windows assume an unobstructed horizon. Nearby trees, buildings, hills, or other obstructions may shorten or alter actual usable shooting conditions. Direction auto-detection uses publicly available building footprint and road data and may require manual confirmation for some properties. Weather recommendations require an internet connection and are provided by Apple WeatherKit.
