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.
