## What is Shade?

Shade keeps you safe in the sun — without the guesswork. Get your real-time UV index, a personal sunscreen reminder, and a live sun timer built around your exact skin type.

NEVER BURN AGAIN
Shade calculates how long your skin can safely stay in the sun before burning — based on your skin type and the live UV index — then tells you exactly when it's time to reapply. Just got out of the water? It reminds you to reapply right away.

SMART ALERTS THAT PROTECT YOU
Know when UV peaks during the day, when to reapply your SPF, and when you've had enough sun. Gentle, timely notifications — never spammy.

LIVE ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN
A beautiful Lock Screen widget counts down your safe sun time in real time — always a glance away, no need to open the app.

TRACK YOUR DAILY SUNLIGHT & VITAMIN D
See how many days you've stayed protected, follow your sun exposure across the week, and track your vitamin D (IU) over time with clean, simple insights.

MADE FOR YOUR SKIN TYPE
Everyone's skin is different. A quick skin check-in personalizes every recommendation to your skin tone — so your protection is truly yours.

• Real-time UV index & daily peak
• Personal sunscreen & SPF reapply reminders
• Live sun timer on your Lock Screen
• Daily sunlight & vitamin D tracking
