If you're vegan or vegetarian, pregnant or breastfeeding use this app to avoid the effects of zinc deficiency. Zinc is critical for a healthy immune system, wound healing, cell division, growth, and metabolism, and protects against many diseases including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, arthritis, skin diseases, dementia and Parkinson's disease. Zinc deficiency in pregnancy and childhood impairs growth and development. Deficiency in older adults can impair wound healing and brain and mental health. Set your target daily zinc intake based on guidance provided in the app and your preferences for weights of food (g or oz). Record food and beverage consumption using dictation, search, or by favoriting foods, and using the serving sizes provided, which can be changed at any time. Tap the notepad to add notes. Compare the zinc content of different foods by tapping the Compare button on the "Foods" screen. Monitor daily and long-term progress, export data to share with healthcare providers, synchronize data with other First Line Medical Communications Ltd nutrient counter apps, and share data with Apple's HealthKit. Add your own foods and recipes and change serving sizes to personalize the app's 400-item database for you. All food and beverage popups indicate whether the item is a plant, good prebiotic, probiotic or ultra-processed food (UPF) to inform a healthy diet and whether they are high or low FODMAP per serving where data are available to support people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Useful lists show zinc content of foods per 1oz or 100g and serving, which can be toggled from high to low & low to high. Also useful UPF, unprocessed plant, prebiotic, probiotic, high & low FODMAP food lists.

Get outside. Sun Light does the rest. Sun Light turns your daily sunlight into a simple ring, a streak, and a clear picture of when you actually got your light — morning, afternoon, or evening. Most people get less daylight than they think. Sun Light makes it visible in one glance, from your home screen or your wrist. WHAT YOU GET • Daily daylight ring and streak • Morning light window — see your first daylight of the day against sunrise • Morning, afternoon and evening breakdown • 7-day history chart • Shareable daily card • Custom daily goal • Sunrise and sunset times • Home screen and lock screen widgets • Apple Watch app and complications HOW TRACKING WORKS With an Apple Watch, daylight is recorded automatically — nothing to start or stop. Apple Watch writes Time in Daylight to Apple Health and Sun Light reads it. Without an Apple Watch, use a Sun Session: tap start when you head outside, tap stop when you come back. Sun Light saves those minutes to Apple Health too. Automatic tracking requires Apple Watch Series 6 or later, Apple Watch SE (2nd generation), or Apple Watch Ultra, on watchOS 10 or later. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No server. No analytics. No ads. Your daylight data stays in Apple Health on your devices. SUN LIGHT PRO Sun Light is free, and everything above stays free — including the shareable daily card. Pro adds your morning light window history and unlimited history beyond the last seven days. 7-day free trial, then $24.99/year — or $49.99 once for lifetime access.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Sun Light at Free against Zinc Counter and Tracker's $2.99. Sun Light also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 5 weeks). Zinc Counter and Tracker's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
