About

Burntimes

Prepare an outing, keep a sun-care checklist and record sunscreen applications, shade breaks and water or sweat events. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open Plans, create an outing and review clothing, shade and other preparation checks. 2. Record care actions as they happen. Water, sweat or toweling prompts a fresh reapplication decision. 3. Optionally request a local check-in reminder. End the outing and review its action history. Previous sessions remain accessible as historical records. Retired calculated fields in old exports are not current safety guidance. WHAT TO KNOW The update removes safe-exposure minutes, SPF time multipliers and vitamin-D exposure targets from the active workflow. SPF is not a duration multiplier. Follow sunscreen directions, reapply as directed and after swimming, sweating or toweling, seek shade and use protective clothing. Reminders depend on system permission and delivery. This app does not determine a safe time in the sun. iPhone and iPad.
