About UVSun: UV Index & Sunscreen
Know how much safe sun you have left today - personalized to your skin, and honest about it. UVSun reads the UV index for exactly where you are and turns it into a personal daily safe-sun budget: an amount set by your skin type that sunlight spends and sunscreen slows. Instead of a vague guess, you get a clear number - and UVSun shows its work. WHY UVSUN IS DIFFERENT - It shows its work. See your remaining safe-sun time, how much of your daily dose you have used, and how fast you are spending it - not a black-box countdown. The budget is set with a safety margin, on purpose. - Honest about sunscreen. When you log SPF, UVSun credits realistic in-use protection and then eases off its assumption over time - it reminds you to reapply instead of pretending the sunscreen lasts forever. - It keeps up with the sun. A session re-rates as the sun climbs and as your sunscreen ages, so the number actually moves - it never freezes at what it said when you started. - Backed by real science. A Science page cites peer-reviewed sun-safety research and is upfront about what the evidence does and does not show. HOW IT WORKS - Allow location and UVSun looks up the UV index for where you are, with your place name. - Do a quick skin-type check - a private camera color scan or a short quiz reads your eye, skin, and hair color to estimate your Fitzpatrick type (I-VI). - Watch your remaining safe-sun time and daily dose budget update through the day. - Tap "I'm in the sun" to track a session, and get a shade heads-up before you overdo it plus a reminder to reapply sunscreen. WHAT'S INSIDE - The current UV index for your exact location, with place name - Personalized safe-sun time and a daily dose budget by skin type - Skin-type estimate from a private camera color scan or a quick quiz - SPF-aware timing with honest reapply reminders - Sun sessions with history and weekly stats - A whole-day, hour-by-hour UV forecast in WHO color bands, with a "now" marker to plan around the peak - Shade, reapply, and "UV is climbing" alerts - A Science page citing peer-reviewed sun-safety research - 10 languages, works offline with your last reading, colorblind-safe UV labels PRIVATE BY DESIGN - No account, no sign-up, no cloud. - Your location is used only to look up the UV index and your place name - never for ads, and never shared with advertisers. - Your skin-scan photo is never saved or uploaded. UVSun is ad-supported. A one-time purchase removes all ads - every feature is available either way. UV data by currentuvindex.com (CC BY 4.0).

What’s new
Version 1.1.2 · Updated September 4, 2026
The History tab now goes back further than a week. The arrows above the chart step the window back seven days at a time, and the chart, the weekly stats and the session list all move with it - back to your very first record. Settings moved into the bottom tab bar, so it is one tap from anywhere instead of a gear in the corner of the home screen. The bar is opaque now too, so the labels stay legible whatever colour the sky is. Thanks for using UVSun!
