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.

Breathawear
Read full descriptionHide full description
Breathawear is a wellness app for building a more intentional breathing practice. FOLLOW A CLEAR VISUAL RHYTHM Choose from Steady, Coherent, Unwind, Box, and 4-7-8 patterns. Visual, haptic, and optional audio cues help you follow each phase. You decide when to begin, pause, resume, or end. EXPLORE A CLEARLY LABELED SIMULATION Start an app-generated rhythm and watch its waveform, phase, and estimated rate move on your phone. The simulator is demonstration data, not a physiological measurement. Its continuous waveform is not uploaded or added to cloud practice history; the staged reflection below keeps only its short demonstration segment on your iPhone. REFLECT WITHOUT INTERRUPTION The simulator briefly stages a faster generated rhythm. Only after that rhythm settles, a quiet badge on the bell offers one local reflection card that you can tag or skip. The highlighted segment is app-generated demonstration data, not measured breathing, and it remains on your iPhone. PRACTICE UNDER PRESSURE Try a 45-second Bet You Can't math or memory round by yourself or against Moss, a local software opponent. The practice challenge is unranked and unsaved, with no human matchmaking, wagers, prizes, or durable score. CHOOSE HOW YOU USE THE APP Continue as a guest for a local-only experience on this iPhone; the app keeps your 500 most recent completed guest practices on the device. If you create or sign in to an account, Breathawear can sync eligible guided-practice records so your signed-in history is available in the app and web dashboard. KNOW WHAT IS RECORDED For guided practice, Breathawear records the selected pattern, elapsed time, cycles presented by the guide, and guide pace. Those values describe the cues shown by the app; they are not measurements of your breathing. STAY IN CONTROL Use the app as a guest, sign out at any time, or permanently delete an account and its associated cloud data. This release does not request Bluetooth or Apple Health access and does not require external hardware. Breathawear supports wellness and breathing awareness. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. Do not use Breathawear for emergencies or as a substitute for professional medical advice. Stop a breathing practice and seek appropriate help if you feel unwell.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Breathawear at none against Sun Light's 3. Breathawear also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 8 days) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
