Know exactly how much vitamin D you're getting. Every day. D-Fine tracks your vitamin D from three sources — sunlight, food, and supplements — and tells you if it's enough, based on your skin, your location, and the time of day. THE PROBLEM Vitamin D deficiency is one of the most common in the world, even among people who spend time outdoors. The issue isn't laziness. It's that no one can tell how much sun they actually need. It depends on where you live, the time of day, your skin type, what you're wearing. You can't figure that out by feel. THREE SOURCES, ONE NUMBER Until now, there was no way to see all the sources of vitamin D together. D-Fine combines sunlight, food, and supplements into a single daily figure — your IU today versus your personalized daily target. If you're taking a supplement, you'll finally know whether it's the right dose for you, today, in this season. WHAT D-FINE DOES Sunlight — D-Fine reads your time in daylight from your iPhone and Apple Watch, then calculates the IU your skin actually synthesized, factoring in UV index, sun angle, cloud cover, your Fitzpatrick skin type, how much skin is exposed, and any SPF you logged. Food — Log meals containing vitamin D. D-Fine adds the IU to your daily total. Supplements — Track your daily supplement dose. D-Fine warns you before you cross safe thresholds. WHO IT'S FOR People who live far from the equator, work indoors, have darker skin, are over 50, or just want to stop guessing. PRIVACY All processing happens on your device. Your profile syncs through your private iCloud container — only you can read it. Anonymous usage data is strictly opt-in (default OFF), uses a non-persistent install ID, and contains no Apple identifiers or personal information. APPLE WATCH With an Apple Watch, D-Fine measures your Time in Daylight continuously and passively, the way Apple intended. Without it, the app falls back to estimating from outdoor workouts and UV conditions — still useful, just less precise. D-Fine is not a medical device. It's a science-based calculation tool to help you understand your vitamin D intake. For medical concerns, talk to your doctor.

Vitamin D Window shows you the exact hours when sunlight is strong enough for natural vitamin D production at your location. Set up the app and the widget and enjoy the time window in a snapshot. HOW IT WORKS The app calculates solar elevation angles throughout the day using your GPS coordinates. When the sun is high enough above the horizon (above 45° for optimal conditions, above 30° for partial), you get a clear vitamin D time window with start and end times. FEATURES · Real-time sun schedule — sunrise, sunset, and vitamin D hours at a glance · Solar progress bar — see where you are in the day's sun cycle · Smart widgets (small, medium, large) — check your vitamin D window right from your home screen · Daily schedule — it changes depending on the time of the year · Dynamic island with live countdown of the last minutes of vitamin D in the day · Notifications — don't lose the key moments of the day · Location-based — it changes depending on your location · Works offline — no internet connection required after setup · Beautiful solar-themed design — adaptive gradients that follow the sun through the day WIDGETS THAT KEEP YOU INFORMED Add a widget to your home screen and instantly see today's vitamin D window. The small widget features a progress bar in real time as you move through the vitamin D hours. Medium and large widgets show the full sun timeline with sunrise, sunset, and vitamin D periods. After sunset, widgets automatically switch to show tomorrow's schedule — so you always know what's coming. WHO IS THIS FOR? · Health-conscious individuals who want to optimize their sun exposure timing · People living at higher latitudes where vitamin D windows are seasonal (almost all countries) · Outdoor enthusiasts planning activities around peak sun hours · Anyone curious about their local solar schedule PRIVACY FIRST Your location is used only on your device to calculate solar positions. No data is collected, stored on servers, or shared with third parties. Everything runs locally. — Solar calculations powered by the SunCalc algorithm. Vitamin D window times are based on solar elevation angles and may vary depending on individual factors such as skin type, altitude, and atmospheric conditions.
