## What is Suncap?

Worried about sun damage? Suncap helps you cut your exposure to harmful UV rays by up to 60% — so you can enjoy the sun without sunburn, dark spots, or lasting damage.

Most UV damage doesn't happen at the beach. It builds up on ordinary days — the walk to work, the terrace lunch, the afternoon run — when you have no idea the UV is high. The sunburn fades, but the damage underneath adds up: premature wrinkles, sun spots, and a higher risk of skin cancer.

Suncap watches the sun for you, every day, so exposure stops happening by accident.

WHAT SUNCAP DOES FOR YOUR SKIN
• Know when it's safe — live UV index for your exact location, at a glance
• Burn less — a personal sunburn timer based on your skin type tells you how long you're safe
• Avoid the danger hours — hourly and 4-day forecasts show the safest times to be outside
• Keep your protection working — sunscreen reminders timed to your real exposure, with an alarm that cuts through silent mode and Focus (iOS 26+)
• Stop checking the sky — custom alerts warn you the moment UV crosses your threshold
• Protection everywhere — Live Activities on your Lock Screen, Home Screen widget, and Apple Watch app

RESULTS YOU CAN FEEL
Used daily, Suncap can help you reduce your harmful UV exposure by up to 60%. Less exposure means fewer sunburns today — and healthier, younger-looking skin for years to come.

PREMIUM unlocks:
• Custom UV alerts
• Sunscreen reminders
• Live Activities
• Home Screen widget
• Extended hourly forecasts
• Apple Watch app

YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS
No ads. No third-party tracking.

Built by an indie developer who got tired of getting burned. Suncap won't replace your sunscreen — but it will make sure your skin never pays for a day in the sun.

### 5/5 — Very nice app!

*2026-07-28*

Great app! Clean UI. Developer is responsive!

Edit: Temperature in Fahrenheit is not being applied to the widgets. Hope you can fix this! Thanks 🙏🏽

**Developer response:** Thanks for the kind words and the suggestion! Good news: a 12-hour time format option is now available across all pages as of version 8.24.0. Just update the app and you'll find it in the settings. Enjoy!

My only request is option to use 12hrs instead of 24hrs in all pages.

### 5/5 — Really helpful

*2026-06-21*

Love this app, especially the daily uv digest that helps me plan my day.

### 1/5 — Появился премиум

*2025-05-07*

Раньше можно было пользоваться виджетом без премиума. После обновления заставляют купить подписку премиума, чтобы использовать виджет и таймер санскрина. Очень нравилось приложение: удобный виджет был, все было доступно, таймер санскрина иногда выручал. Жалею, что приложение обновилось до последней версии, ведь подписку я оформить не смогу. Эх :(

### 5/5 — Nota 10

*2025-01-29*

Ótima interface e entrega grátis o que quase todos cobram uma fortuna em assinatura. Parabéns, nota 10!
