## What is Sunscreen Buddy?

You remembered your keys. Your sun buddy remembers sunscreen.

Sunscreen Buddy helps you act at the right moment, not just study another UV chart. With permission, it can notice when you leave a remembered indoor place, check local UV and weather, and nudge you only when sunscreen would be useful. Apply in one tap, then follow your time-based reapplication countdown on iPhone. Premium adds Apple Watch tracking.

BEFORE YOU HEAD OUT
- See useful UV guidance and protection status in Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets
- Record an application from the widget without opening the app
- Remember multiple indoor places and remove them anytime in Settings
- Get an optional reminder after you leave a remembered place when conditions call for it
- Keep saved coordinates on device; no account required

AFTER YOU APPLY
- Start a clear, time-based countdown in one tap
- Set reminders at the due time or before it
- Adjust SPF, activity, product water resistance, and reminder timing
- With Premium, keep iPhone, Apple Watch, and complications in sync

ONE GLANCE, ANYWHERE
- Fast, glanceable Lock Screen widgets
- Interactive Home Screen widgets with one-tap Apply
- Premium Apple Watch app and complications
- Lock Screen and Dynamic Island Live Activities
- Clear ready, protected, fading, and due states

MAKE IT YOURS
- Pick Pink Bunny or Orange Cat as your starter
- Unlock the other starter at 7 logged days, Mint Frog at 14, and Ocean Otter at 21
- Premium adds a Sunscreen Shelf and unlocks every Buddy instantly
- Original one-time buddy purchases continue to restore
- No subscription is required for core protection features

PROGRESS WITHOUT PRESSURE
- Review applications, tracked time, and protected days
- See weekly progress without turning indoor days into guilt

Sunscreen Buddy does not measure sunscreen remaining on your skin. Its countdown is a time-based reapplication estimate based on your selected activity and product settings. Always follow your sunscreen label and applicable public-health guidance.
