SunSide

You paid extra for the window seat. Four hours later you get off with one red cheek, a headache, and a curtain you fought with the whole way. SunSide exists so that never happens again. THE ANSWER, BEFORE YOU LEAVE Tell it where you are going and when. SunSide follows the road you will really take, at the hour you will actually be on it, works out where the sun will sit above you, and answers in three words: Take the left. Or the right. Or the sunny side, if you are the kind of traveller who chases the light rather than hiding from it. THE WHOLE JOURNEY, HOUR BY HOUR A single answer is not always the whole story. Long trips turn, the sun moves, and a road that starts shaded can end blinding. So SunSide lays your journey out hour by hour, read at a glance like a weather forecast: the time, how high the sun is, which side it falls on. You can see the difficult stretch coming before you reach it. WHAT YOU GET • A clear seat recommendation for cars, buses, trains and planes • Your route on the map, with the sunlit stretches marked • Sun Tracker — hold your phone up and see exactly where the sun is right now • Live Trip — a nudge on the road if the shaded side changes • A reminder before departure, so the trip does not slip your mind • Scenic views along the way on your flights • Sunrise, sunset and golden hour anywhere in the world • Your regular journeys saved in one tap • English, French, Spanish, German, Arabic and Japanese BUILT ON REAL ROADS Most of the guesswork people do is a straight line drawn between two cities. Real roads curve, and a curve changes everything: the same trip can face east for twenty minutes and west for the next forty. SunSide reads the actual route, follows it point by point, and calculates the sun's position at each one. That is why the answer holds up. FREE, AND STRAIGHT WITH YOU ABOUT IT Every feature here is free, and working out a journey is unlimited — no counter and no allowance on the thing the app is for. Sun Tracker and Live Trip have a daily allowance, and when it runs out a short video keeps you going. Nothing is hidden behind a paywall, and there is no subscription to forget about. The app is paid for by a couple of small ads, and that is the whole business model. NO ACCOUNT. NO SIGN-UP. NO SERVERS. There is nothing to create and nothing to log into. Your trips, favourites and settings live on your phone and nowhere else. SunSide has no servers of its own. Your location is used to answer a question and is not kept by us. For anyone who would rather arrive comfortable.
