Built on the live UV index — not guesswork. Sol Glow is a sun-safety-first planner for time outside. It estimates a personalized session length from the live local UV index, the weather, your skin type, and your SPF — then runs a live timer that reminds you when to flip, reapply, and hydrate. The safest amount of UV exposure is none, so every plan is capped to discourage overexposure. Here's how it works. 1. TELL SOL GLOW ABOUT YOU A quick onboarding learns your skin type, sensitivity, and the kind of time outside you're after. You can add your sunscreens, oils, and sprays once, with their SPF and water resistance. 2. CHECK TODAY'S SUN The home screen shows the live UV index, cloud cover, and your burn risk for your location — so you know what you're walking into before you go out. 3. GET A PLAN FOR RIGHT NOW Pick your goal and Sol Glow builds a session length from real-time UV, your skin profile, and the SPF you're wearing. Every plan is capped under a personalized burn-risk threshold to discourage overexposure. 4. RUN THE LIVE TIMER Start your glow and the app counts down to each step: - Flip reminders, front and back - Reapply reminders timed to your sunscreen's SPF and water resistance - Hydration nudges - A clear "wind down" so you don't overdo it 5. GLANCE, DON'T STARE - Live Activity on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island with your timer, UV, and reapply status - Home Screen widgets for today's UV index - Designed to be glanced at, so you can put the phone away 6. LOG IT Each session saves to a calendar with the UV, SPF, and outcome. Optional progress photos and streaks are yours to keep. Your history feeds back in to refine future plans. 7. GO TOGETHER Start a shared "beach day" session with friends, sync timers, and keep the whole group on the same flip and reapply schedule. SAFETY BY DESIGN - Outdoor sun only — Sol Glow does not support or encourage tanning beds - Plans actively discourage excessive UV exposure - SPF, reapply, and time-limit reminders throughout - Burn-risk awareness front and center GLOW UP SUBSCRIPTION Sol Glow is a subscription app. Glow Up unlocks everything — the full smart planner, the live glow timer, flip, reapply, and hydration reminders, Home Screen widgets, and shared beach-day sessions with friends.
