## What is Parasol?

Parasol is the sun app for people who'd rather not find out the hard way.

It watches the UV forecast for wherever you are and warns you ten minutes before the index passes the limit you set - then tells you when it's safe again. Your day is laid out as simple safe and burn windows, so you can plan the walk, the run or the beach around the sun instead of guessing.

WHAT'S FREE, FOREVER • UV index right now, with cloud cover and how much the clouds are cutting it • A ten-minute heads-up before UV passes your limit, and an all-clear when it drops • Today's safe and burn windows, and a three-day UV chart • A Home Screen widget • Works with the app closed. No account, no ads, no tracking.

PARASOL PRO - ONE PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION • Your real UV dose. Apple Watch already logs every minute you spend in daylight. Parasol multiplies those minutes by the UV at the time and scores the result against a burn threshold for your skin type, with alerts at 50, 80 and 100 %. • Sunscreen that counts. Log SPF, get the two-hour reapply reminder, and see how much it actually kept off your skin — using an honest, real-world protection estimate rather than the number on the bottle. • Lock Screen and dose widgets. Everyone gets Pro free for their first week. If you like it, it's yours for a single payment, with Family Sharing.

BUILT FOR EVERY SKIN TYPE Choose your Fitzpatrick type (I-VI) and Parasol adjusts the burn threshold accordingly. Fair skin burns in minutes at UV 6; deeper skin tones have more headroom but are not immune. Parasol treats both honestly.

PRIVACY FIRST Location is used only while the app is open, and only coordinates are sent to Apple Weather. Health data never leaves your phone. There are no accounts and no analytics.

Dose tracking needs an Apple Watch Series 6, SE (2nd generation), Ultra or later on watchOS 10 or newer. Parasol gives estimates and is not medical advice - it doesn't replace sunscreen, shade or a dermatologist.
