The app dynamically adapts to your behavior: If you move into the shade or partial shade, your remaining sun exposure time is recalculated with a single tap. The same applies to activities like swimming, sweating, or spending time on reflective surfaces such as snow or sand. This ensures your estimate remains realistic and up-to-date at all times. Youβll be notified in time before your skin is damaged. The app also reminds you when to reapply sunscreenβfor optimal protection all day long. Transparency is key: In the Info section, all calculations are clearly explained, and youβll find in-depth information about UV radiation, skin types, and effective sun protection. The free version already offers all the essential features to reliably protect you from the sun. With the Pro version, you get even more out of the app: β’ Create multiple profiles and conveniently manage your whole family β’ Start tracking your sun exposure retroactively if you forgot to open the app in the morning β’ One-time purchase for β¬9.99 β ad-free for life Whether in everyday life, on vacation, or while exercisingβthis app adapts to you and helps you enjoy your time in the sun safely and mindfully. Not medical advice or a medical device!

CogniTrack Pro turns your iPhone into a private lab for your mind, recovery and daily health routines. Track attention, memory, reaction speed, HRV, activity, sleep and optional glucose context in one calm app. Follow short morning and evening routines, run research-inspired cognitive exercises, and see your personal trends over time β without accounts, ads or cloud upload. WHY I BUILT COGNITRACK PRO I am a PhD bioinformatician and have worked with artificial intelligence and data-driven analysis for more than 20 years. I am also fascinated by longevity, healthy habits and the question of how small daily routines compound over time. My belief is simple: long-term progress starts with consistency, good measurement and clear feedback. CogniTrack Pro was created to bring that approach to everyday cognitive and wellness tracking β privately, practically and without unnecessary complexity. WHAT YOU CAN DO β’ Follow guided morning and evening routines for focus, reflection and recovery β’ Train with classic cognitive paradigms such as N-back, Stroop, Go/No-Go, digit span, symbol-digit and reaction time β’ Build a Cognitive Index and see how your results change over time β’ Connect Apple Health to review HRV, resting heart rate, sleep, activity and workout context β’ Add optional glucose readings and estimate long-term glucose trends β’ Explore correlations between routine, health signals, phone use and cognitive performance β’ Get practical recommendations based on your own patterns β’ Use the app in English, German, Spanish and French PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your data is yours. CogniTrack Pro works fully offline and does not use tracking, ads or analytics SDKs. No account is required. Nothing leaves your phone unless you export it or intentionally enable your own self-hosted sync. IMPORTANT CogniTrack Pro is a wellness and education app. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Scores, ranges and trends are estimates from your own data and are not a substitute for professional medical advice.
