Deconstruct Sun
An iPhone app that creates a composite panorama of a site, lets users trace trees and buildings, estimates direct-sun hours on dates, and generates a PDF report.
Problem it solves. Provides a lasting, shareable visual record and quantitative estimate of how much direct sunlight a location receives for site-analysis and planting/solar decisions.
Who pays. landscape architects, gardeners, passive-solar greenhouse designers (and potentially solar installation companies or community gardeners)
Market. site-analysis / landscape / solar planning tools
How it makes money. Free limited version with a one-time $11.99 Pro upgrade
Claimed. gained 26 users from my initial personal social media posts
App exists on the App Store, the founder reports initial real users and answered product/audience questions in comments; no high-upvote accusations of fakery or self-promo were present.
