Agreement changed time.
Modern civil time is useful because it lets towns, trains, phones and people agree. But agreement came at a cost: noon no longer has to happen when the Sun is highest, and the same civil hour can contain very different light depending on place and season.
SOLAR does not reject local time. It restores the relationship that standard time necessarily removed.
Read the day before reading the theory.
The main Clock answers three human questions: where am I in the solar day, what time is it by the Sun, and how much of this day or night lies ahead?
The Halo arc makes sunrise, now and sunset understandable at a glance. The clear-sky field changes with the real solar state for the selected place.
One moment, several clocks.
Solar Time keeps the familiar language of a twenty-four-hour clock while restoring a direct meaning to noon. Seasonal Hours let each daylight hour expand and contract with the season. Byzantine Time begins a new equal-hour cycle at sunset. Local Time remains nearby as the modern civil reference.
Natural events should move.
A fixed alarm remains at the same civil time. Sunrise, golden hour, sunset and dawn do not. Solar Reminders follow the event as it moves through the year.
Designed around attention.
SOLAR uses very little interface because the changing light is the main character. No social feed, advertising layer or account is required for the current product direction.
