Basky helps you catch a safe, personal daily dose of sunshine — just enough to feel good, never enough to burn — guided by a cheerful pixel-art sun. One-time unlock, never a subscription. The whole sun-and-wellness core is free, forever. • YOUR SAFE-SUN WINDOW Tell Basky your skin type and it works out how many minutes of sun are safe for you right now, from your local UV index. A calm timer fills as you bask — and gently caps when you've had your safe dose, so you never overdo it. • A FRIENDLY VITAMIN D ESTIMATE Watch a rough, encouraging vitamin D figure climb as you soak it in (it's a friendly estimate, not a medical reading). • A STREAK YOU'LL ACTUALLY KEEP Meet your gentle daily goal and build a streak. A cloudy day you miss won't break it — Basky keeps your spot warm. And on sunless evenings, a quick "got some daylight" check-in keeps the habit going year-round. • BASKY, YOUR LITTLE SUN A charming pixel mascot who glows, blinks and basks right along with you — and a share card to show off your sunny days. • BASK TOGETHER (OPTIONAL) Start a private Sunshine Circle with friends or family and cheer each other on — everyone sees a little sun for the days you each caught it. No logins, no leaderboards, no pressure. Or bask side by side in real time over a FaceTime call with SharePlay. • PRIVATE BY DESIGN No ads, no analytics, no third-party tracking. Your sun history stays on your device — and a Sunshine Circle shares only a first name and your sun days with the people you invite. Basky Forever (optional): a single one-time unlock adds the Sunshine Pack — Basky's wardrobe of pixel skins — and every future extra. The safe-sun loop always stays free. Basky offers gentle, general wellness guidance, not medical advice. It doesn't replace sunscreen, protective clothing, or a doctor.
