The idea behind this application is that it will help you track and manage your Vitamin D. This new version integrates with the Apple Health app to make seamless data exchange possible in the following ways: * on setup, profile information is fetched from the Health App if the user allows it * the user's weight (a factor in D generation) is fetched on an ongoing basis, making it unnecessary to update it * the app will write vitamin D doses, including session information into the Health app You setup basic information one time, like your height and weight and skin type and then any time you are outside, during the prescribed hours (and parts of the year), you can have it compute the amount of D you are getting in a stopwatch interface. It will also track how long you can stay out and warn you when the time is up. The application will notify you with the next opportunity to generate vitamin D. Each day, you can see forecasts based on your location, and you can also see the solar position, your generated vitamin D vs. target etc. In the Pro version, you can see your exposures's history and you will be able to schedule future events for next exposures.

About

Anam Cara Anastasis

Features
Read full description

Anam Cara is an app dedicated exclusively to grief and loss — for those going through the pain of losing a loved one, a pet, or an important relationship. The name "Anam Cara" comes from old Irish and means "soul friend" — not a distant therapist, but a gentle companion who walks alongside you through the pain, for exactly as long as you need. WHAT THE APP OFFERS • Immediate comfort — a mood check-in (sadness, anger, guilt, loneliness, anxiety, numbness), each paired with an encouraging message written for that moment, plus a guided breathing exercise. • Prayer and gratitude — for those who find comfort in faith, a moment of prayer and thanks; for those going through a breakup, an affirmation of self-worth. • Memory journal — a private space to write about the person or pet you lost, with the option to share a thought with the community if you choose. • Gentle reminders — quiet notifications on important dates: anniversaries, birthdays of the person or pet you lost. • Community with real support — dedicated groups for each type of loss (parent, partner, child, grandparent, pet, breakup, divorce, relationship with a narcissist, and more), moderated with a language filter. • Soul Light — create a digital memorial for a loved one, with a photo and important dates; light a candle or send a memorial gesture (rose, prayer, peace dove) and invite family or friends to do the same. The app automatically reminds you of important days — a birthday or the anniversary of their passing. • Counseling and resources — a short self-assessment quiz, plus verified resources: crisis lines for suicidal thoughts, a directory for children/teens facing abuse, and a separate directory for adult survivors of sexual abuse — all free and always accessible. WHO IT'S FOR People who have lost a parent, partner, child, grandparent, or another loved one; people grieving a pet; people going through a breakup, divorce, or abandonment; families affected by sudden loss or the loss of a service member or police officer; people affected by loss through suicide; teens and children who need a safe place. AVAILABILITY Available in 10 languages: Romanian, English, Italian, German, French, Spanish, Polish, Chinese, Korean, and Japanese. SUBSCRIPTION Free core features (limited journal, one reminder, one memorial, full free access to crisis and safety resources). Premium subscription for unlimited journaling, multiple reminders, unlimited memorials, and full community access — monthly, every 3 months, or every 6 months, billed through your Apple account. Anam Cara does not replace therapy or professional medical help — it is a space for everyday support, alongside, not instead of, professional help when you need it.
