## What is Honest Tan?

Tanning has a speed limit. Most apps do not tell you.

Honest Tan shows the real UV index for where you are, hour by hour, using WeatherKit with Open-Meteo fallback if WeatherKit is unavailable. No estimates dressed up as certainty. Just the UV forecast overhead, plus a calmer way to time a session.

Plan for the kinder hours. Most days have a window before peak UV and one after, when a session is less of a fight. Open the app, look at the curve, and pick a time that respects how the sun actually moves.

Start a session and the timer runs. When it ends, it ends. Optional reminders nudge you to flip, reapply sunscreen, or step into shade. Reminders, not medical advice.

Your setup can include an optional on-device photo-assisted shade estimate. It can be skipped, adjusted, and is used only to make the routine summary feel more personal. It is not a diagnosis, risk score, or medical assessment.

Your sessions stay on your device. No account. No sign-in. No backend. No third-party analytics.

What we do not do: no weekly subscription, no FOMO push, no guaranteed safe exposure time, no streaks, no leaderboards, no ads.

Honest Tan Pro unlocks the full hourly planner, tomorrow forecast, custom reminder intervals, and unlimited history. The annual subscription starts with a 7-day free trial, then $19.99/year until cancelled. A $49.99 lifetime option is also available. Basic UV and timer features remain available without Pro.

Reminders, not medical advice. If you have a skin condition, take medication that affects sun sensitivity, or have any concern about UV exposure, talk to a dermatologist. This app does not diagnose, treat, or prevent anything.
