  • Protect-first days when UV runs hot

How it works

Glowing takes three taps.

1

Set your skin & goal

A quick onboarding learns your skin type, sensitivity, and the glow you're after.

2

Get today's plan

Sol Glow reads local UV and weather and builds a timed plan with SPF guidance.

3

Start & flip on cue

Run the timer, follow the reminders, then log how it went so tomorrow's even better.

The science

Built on measured UV dose — not guesswork.

Most "tanning timers" are a stopwatch with a sunscreen reminder. Sol Glow models the actual erythemal UV dose you're absorbing and keeps each session under a conservative, personalized burn-risk threshold.

UVI × 1.5 J/m² absorbed per minute, the model's base input
1 SED = 100 J/m² — the unit we budget your glow against
< threshold every plan stays below your predicted burn point

We don't believe in "safe tanning." UV is the body's response to damage, so Sol Glow speaks in estimates, risk, and dose budgets — and recommends shade, protect-only, or shorter micro-sessions when UV runs high.

Questions

Good to know.

Does Sol Glow say tanning is safe?

No. UV exposure is the body's response to skin damage, so we never use phrases like "safe tanning." Sol Glow gives estimates and a dose budget that stays under your personalized burn-risk threshold, and recommends shade or protect-only mode when UV is high. It's guidance, not medical advice.

How does it know how long I should tan?

It combines live UV index and weather for your location with your skin profile, SPF, water resistance, goal, and your feedback from past sessions to estimate a sub-burn dose budget — then turns that into front/back/side timing.

Which devices are supported?

Sol Glow is built for iPhone, with Home Screen widgets, Lock Screen widgets, and Dynamic Island Live Activities. It's currently in TestFlight beta.

What's free vs. Glow Up?

The core plan — UV context, basic timing, reminders, feedback, and calendar history — is free. Glow Up adds skin tuning, goal presets, product-aware SPF timing, learning adjustments, widgets, friend sessions, and advanced insights.

Does it work on cloudy days or indoors?

Yes. Sol Glow factors cloud cover into the plan, and on low-UV days it guides gentler sessions. It's designed around real outdoor sun, so it won't recommend tanning beds.

Your best glow starts with the right plan.
