Sunscreen Buddy – Smart Timer
Sun-Wise UV Index & SPF Alerts
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
Make sun protection feel effortless. Check UV, track sunscreen in one tap, build your routine, unlock Buddies, and Nudge friends when they may need it.
SUNSCREEN WITHOUT THE GUESSWORK
Sunscreen Buddy turns the local UV forecast into one clear answer: you are good, sunscreen soon, or apply now.
Record sunscreen in one tap, then let your Buddy keep watch. Check your status from the Lock Screen, Home Screen, or Dynamic Island without constantly opening the app.
REMINDERS THAT FIT YOUR DAY
Get useful reminders based on local UV, daylight, and the applications you record.
With permission, Sunscreen Buddy can notice when you leave a remembered indoor place and remind you when sunscreen may be useful. When conditions do not call for it, your Buddy stays quiet.
MAKE SUN CARE FEEL REWARDING
Choose a Buddy, unlock new companions as you build your routine, and make sunscreen feel like something worth remembering.
Track your progress without streak pressure or guilt for days spent indoors.
LOOK OUT FOR YOUR PEOPLE
Connect privately with friends and send a friendly Nudge when UV is high.
There are no public profiles, contact searches, precise location sharing, or open messages.
