How long can you stay in the sun today before you burn? Helia answers that in minutes — for your skin type and the live UV index where you stand — and that answer is free, forever. Most sun apps show a raw UV number or push you toward a deeper tan. Helia does neither. It treats sunlight as something to enjoy on a budget: the sunburn is the enemy, not the sun. FREE, FOR EVERYONE • Your sunburn budget. A personal estimate of how long today's sun may take before your skin has had enough — from the live UV index, the real sky and your skin type. • The Answer. One glance says cover-up day, quick session, or stay out. No colour charts to decode. • Hands-free tracking. Helia notices when you step into daylight, meters the session itself, and logs it. No timers to start or stop. • Live UV index and forecast. Watch the UV climb and fall through the day and plan around the harshest hours. • Cloud- and rain-aware. An overcast day reads honestly, not as full sun. • Sunscreen reapply and cover-up reminders, delivered before your budget runs out — with a Live Activity on your Lock Screen while a session runs. • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets with today's answer at a glance. • Honest by design. Helia rounds toward caution. When in doubt, it tells you to protect. PRO — THE COACHING LAYER • Morning-light timing: when a little outdoor light may support your daily rhythm and energy. • Your vitamin-D plan: a 12-month, season-aware calendar of what sunlight can realistically contribute at your latitude — including the winter months when it can't. • The Sun Atlas: every session and every walked Sun Trail on one map. • On-device science coach: ask anything about sun, UV, vitamin D and your body clock — answered privately on your phone, from cited sources. • History and trends over weeks and seasons. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your sessions, skin type and location stay on your device wherever possible. Precise location is used only to read your local sun and UV conditions. The coach runs entirely on your phone. A NOTE ON HEALTH Helia provides general wellness estimates and guidance, not medical advice. Sunburn-budget and vitamin-D figures are estimates based on public UV data and the details you provide — they may differ from reality. Helia does not diagnose, treat or prevent any condition. For anything concerning your skin or health, please consult a qualified clinician.
