What's New in Sunshine

6.1

August 1, 2026

Your vitamin D doesn't only come from the sun. You can now log supplements — vitamin D, K2, magnesium, omega-3 — with one tap a day. What the sun gives you and what you take add up to a single daily total, so you can see whether you've had enough, and whether you're getting close to too much. Everything syncs both ways with the Health app, and vitamin D logged in other apps counts too. New insights show your last 30 days, how much came from sun versus supplements, and which one you keep forgetting.

Nice app

As someone with very pale skin who burns in 10 minutes, this UV tracker is a lifesaver. I always check it before leaving the house.
