Build a daylight widget for Notion, a website, or a blog. Follow the sun on its real arc, see how much daylight remains, and learn whether today gained or lost time.
Where the sun actually is, right now.
How much light is left to work with.
Daylight varies enormously by latitude — this is entirely location-driven.
Turn rows off to keep it compact.
Live sky colour is on. Turn it off to set your own background.
Three steps, no sign-up, nothing to install.
Search any town or city. Sunrise, sunset and the length of the day are all calculated for that spot.
Every setting lives in the link itself. There's no account and nothing stored on our side.
In Notion, type /embed, paste the link, and drag the block to whatever shape suits the page.
What this widget does that the alternatives don't.
The marker sits at its real position along the day's arc and creeps along every minute, rather than filling a progress bar. You can see at a glance how much afternoon is left.
How much longer or shorter today is than yesterday, to the second. In spring it's a quietly cheering number, and it's the thing most daylight widgets leave out.
The background follows the real time where you picked, warming near sunrise and sunset. A widget set to Reykjavík looks different from one set to Nairobi, because it is.
Above the Arctic Circle there are days with no sunrise and days with no sunset at all. The widget says so plainly instead of showing a broken arc.
It's calculated on your own device from your latitude and the date, using the standard solar position formulas. That means it costs no extra lookup and stays correct even if the connection drops.
The location's. If you set it to Tokyo, you see Tokyo's sunrise and Tokyo's remaining daylight, which is the point of embedding a place other than your own.
It says the sun never rises, rather than drawing an arc that doesn't exist. Same in midsummer, when it never sets.
The sun's position repaints every minute so it moves visibly. Sunrise and sunset themselves only change once a day, and are refreshed every fifteen minutes.
The builder and an embed you've already placed aren't linked — that's the cost of not making you create an account. Copy the new link and paste it into the existing embed block's source to apply your changes.
No. No sign-up, no widget limit, no trial. Your settings live in the link, which is why you can bookmark or share it and get the same widget back.
