Discover the Power of Sunlight:

In the summer months Daylight Goals can help you ensure you aren’t getting too many rays and help to prevent sunburn. By getting morning sunlight you can get in tune with your natural circadian rhythm, which can certainly help to improve your sleeping habits.
Secure and Private:
We take your privacy seriously. All of your data is stored within the Apple Health app, where you have complete control over access. Your location data is completely optional and never leaves your device.

I love how last year I discovered that Apple Watch automatically tracks time and daylight. It had been tracking for at least eight months! Daylight goals is really helpful because I can see it as a complication on my wrist and reach for my goal of getting outside more. It’s also cool to see what daylight will be ahead with the forecast.
Developer Response
Glad you like it! The app has some major improvements coming to both daylight tracking and weather coming in the next few months!
No real-time tracking

It’s functional and pretty bare-bones. There’s quite a lag updating how many minutes you’ve spent in daylight— I wanted to check how long I was outside in real time, but due to lag it didn’t update until I came inside and opened the app to refresh again. Downloaded it for the watch widget, but that also lags; the number on the widget won’t change in real time until you click on it to reopen the app and refresh. Makes actual tracking difficult; this is more of a daylight “review” than tracker.
Awesome sunlight tracker

I’ve been looking to increase my vitamin D intake, and this app hits the spot. I’ve got an Apple Watch and it records how long I spend outside, and I get a notification when I hit my goal. The new sunrise and sunset times are nice to have as well. It’d be great if I could get a reminder if I haven’t hit my goal for the day, but there is still daylight left.
Developer Response
Glad you like the app! I am looking into adding new reminder types for the next major release, which will also include a main app UI overhaul and some new weather based features.
Beautiful and Simple App
