Sun

Dial in your DC-1.
Spend more time in the sun.

Five buttons. Thirty gestures. Sundial lets you remap every one — so your DC-1 disappears into the work and you get back to what matters.

The problem

Your DC-1 has five buttons. Out of the box, each does one thing.

That's 5 actions from hardware that could support 30. Single press, double tap, triple tap, short hold, medium hold, long hold — six gestures per button, all going to waste. Sundial unlocks every one of them.
