SunMonitor is your personal outdoor safety companion — built for anyone who spends time outside.
Whether you're running, hiking, working outdoors, or just planning your day, SunMonitor gives you the information you need to stay safe in the sun.
OUTDOOR SAFETY SCORE
SunMonitor's signature feature — a single 0-100 score that answers "is it safe to go outside right now?" Factors in UV index, heat stress, storm risk, air quality, mosquito activity, and more. No guesswork. Just a clear answer.
UV INDEX & BURN TIME
Real-time UV index with personalized burn time estimates based on your skin type. Know exactly how long you can stay outside before protection is needed.
FORESIGHT — ATMOSPHERIC ALERTS
SunMonitor watches pressure trends, dew point convergence, and wind shifts in the background and alerts you before conditions change. Get notified of approaching storms before they arrive.
SUN EXPOSURE TRACKING
Log your sun exposure sessions and track your weekly UV dose. Set a guard timer so you never lose track of how long you've been in the sun.
LIVE WEATHER & STORM DETECTION
Real-time storm risk meter, rain timeline, lightning proximity alerts, and a live radar view. Know what's coming before you step outside.
GOLDEN HOUR & NATURE ALERTS
Ambient notifications for golden hour, blue hour, full moon nights, clean air days, and stargazing windows. SunMonitor keeps you connected to the outdoors.
