Description
HikariYomi (光読み) is a native iOS AR optical ephemeris & field planner for photographers. Unlike scouting tools that push subscriptions and fail off-grid, HikariYomi runs 100% offline via on-device astronomical algorithms. Highlights: • Live AR celestial arcs & golden hour countdowns • Prime lens FOV simulator (24mm–135mm) with 3:2 frames • Map shadow projections & 16-day sunset scores • Milky Way core tracking + NPF shutter limits • Free core tools, one-time $7.99 Pro buyout

Could you build this?
Partial While standard ARKit apps can be scaffolded via AI, implementing offline high-precision astronomical ephemeris models, lens FOV projections, and sensor calibration requires deep domain math.
What it would actually take: The app requires Swift with ARKit, CoreMotion, and Metal. The challenging part is integrating astronomical calculation algorithms (e.g., Jean Meeus astronomical algorithms or VSOP87) entirely offline, compensating for atmospheric refraction, device gyro drift, and accurately rendering celestial arcs in true optical field-of-view overlays.
