About

Heading to the beach? Shade estimates when your skin will start to burn, then nudges you to reapply or head for the shade. Shade combines the live UV index for your location with your Fitzpatrick skin type to estimate how long you can stay out before your skin starts to burn — then counts it down for you. WHAT YOU GET • Live UV index — current and hour-by-hour for where you are, from Apple Weather • Personal burn-time estimate — your skin type and SPF, not a generic number • Session timer — start it when you head out, get a nudge before your estimated limit • Live Activity — your remaining sun time on the Lock Screen while a session runs • Apple Watch app — current UV and your session countdown on your wrist, glanceable for everyone • Today at a glance — UV curve, sunrise and sunset, cloud cover • History — every session you've logged, with the UV you were under • Home screen widgets — current UV, the day's UV curve, and your safe sun window BUILT FOR REAL DAYS OUTSIDE Shade is designed around one question: when should I get out of the sun? Not how to tan faster, not how to get more colour. Just a clear estimate of your limit, and a timer that respects it. SHADE PLUS The free version gives you the live UV index, your burn-time estimate, and one tracked session per week. Shade Plus unlocks unlimited sessions, your full exposure history and trends, vitamin D estimates, and session controls on Apple Watch. Shade Plus is an auto-renewing annual subscription. You can start with a free 7-day trial or a reduced first month; after that it renews yearly at the standard price. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings after purchase. Terms of Use (EULA): https://vibrantvibes.eu/shade/terms Privacy Policy: https://vibrantvibes.eu/shade/privacy ABOUT THE NUMBERS UV and weather data comes from Apple Weather. Burn-time estimates follow WHO UV Index public guidance and standard Fitzpatrick minimal erythemal dose values, shown as ranges because skin, altitude, reflection and medication all shift the real answer. Shade is an informational tool, not a medical device, and it can't promise you won't burn. It doesn't diagnose, treat or prevent anything. For any concern about your skin, talk to a dermatologist. Your location is used to fetch UV data and never leaves your device except as a coordinate sent to Apple Weather. There is no account and no sign-up.
