Hey Product Hunt! I’m the Designer behind Rizon. I’ve been working on this on and off for nearly two years now—it feels much longer! I paired up with a talented developer @malolan_s around 4 months ago and we built Rizon on evenings & weekends. It’s finally ready to share!
The idea behind Rizon was that it’s usually a pain for the casual photographer to find out when the best time of day to shoot photographs outdoors is. Sure, there are other apps that tell you the same sort of information, but sometimes it can be an information overload. I just wanted a simple way to see when Golden Hour was happening, along with Twilight and the time of day to avoid harsh shadows.
Rizon uses your current location and date to work out the times for you. You can also use a custom location (which is available offline) and custom dates to help you plan photo-shoots in advance.
I’m also really forgetful so we have 2 different types of reminders. Quick Reminders let you just set one-off reminders for the upcoming two Golden Hours or a custom date. Repeat Reminders are sent every day (depending on the settings you choose) so you don’t have to do anything. Rizon will just ping you when to get outside.
We’d love to hear what the PH community have to say, so we’re giving away a few codes for people to try it out. If you have any questions, ask away!
Thanks, Sam
