SolGlow now makes hitting your goal feel as good as it is — plus a full accessibility and consistency pass across the whole app.
- NewCelebrations & streaks. Confetti and a success haptic when you meet your daily goal, with milestones at 7, 30, and 100 days. Your goal now counts sun, supplements, and diet together — so winter days count too.
- ProSunscreen reapply timer. Start a session wearing SPF and SolGlow schedules an 80-minute reapply reminder, with a live Lock Screen countdown and an "I reapplied" button that restarts it without opening the app.
- ProYour Week in the Sun. A shareable, story-sized recap of your week — total vitamin D, goals met, your streak, and your sunniest day — with an optional Sunday-evening reminder.
- FreeDark mode, refined. Every card now renders with proper elevation in dark mode.
- FreeOne daily goal everywhere. Dashboard, History, Day Detail, widget, notifications, and rings all grade against the same canonical goal — no more mismatches.
- FreeClearer permissions. Location-denied states get an Open Settings path, and people without an Apple Watch get an honest explainer instead of endless zeros.
- PolishAccessibility. First full VoiceOver pass, Dynamic Type for hero numbers and the History calendar, contrast fixes, and color-blind-safe cues. Onboarding is now half as long, and outfit settings stick reliably.
A focused stability release for the Live Activity and the Apple Watch.
- FixLive Session accuracy. Fixed the vitamin D figure freezing on the Dynamic Island and Lock Screen, and a case where a live session wasn't being recorded to history.
- FixApple Watch stability. Resolved a watchOS connectivity watchdog crash by moving received-context reads off the main thread.
SolGlow grew from measuring the sun to helping you use it — with a focus on morning light and how your body actually puts vitamin D to work.
- ProMorning Light. A new dashboard card showing your first daylight of the day and how soon after waking it landed, plus a gentle morning reminder. Reads your wake time from Apple Health Sleep Analysis.
- ProCofactor support. Log magnesium, K2, B12, and omega-3 and SolGlow shows a Low / Adequate / Optimized bioavailability badge — because vitamin D needs help to work.
- ProLife-stage targets. Pick your stage — child, pregnant, 75+, or prediabetes — and your daily target and guidance adjust to the latest Endocrine Society groupings.
- ProEditable history. Fix a day's recorded sunlight minutes from History → Day Detail, and the day's vitamin D, calendar, serum projection, and doctor report all re-compute.
- ProApple Watch Smart Stack. A new watchOS widget and face complications showing today's IU against your goal and your serum estimate.
- FreeA canonical UV source. SolGlow now writes the day's peak UV index to Apple Health, so your device's UV data comes from an app that actually models it.
A deeper Pro tier and a richer live experience while you're out in the sun.
- NewSun-session Live Activity. Track an active sun session live on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island as your vitamin D ticks up.
- ProExpanded Pro features. Additional dashboard depth and tracking tools landed behind the SolGlow Pro unlock.
- FreePricing settled. SolGlow Pro moved to a one-time $7.99 lifetime unlock — still no subscription, ever.
SolGlow became free to try, and gained its companion-app connection.
- NewFree to try. SolGlow moved to a free download with a 14-day full-feature preview, then a one-time unlock — full dashboard, forecast, watch app, and widget, nothing held back during the preview.
- NewCalmTide companion sync. If you also use CalmTide, the two apps now share a small daily summary on-device so each can show a fuller picture of your sun, sleep, and recovery.
- FreePer-day clothing in History. Adjust what you were actually wearing on any past day and your vitamin D and burn estimates re-compute to match.
- PolishSmarter widget & background refresh. Faster, more accurate widget snapshots and a new coordinator that keeps the dashboard, widget, and watch in sync after you've been outside.
The first release — turning the sun into a measurable nutrient.
- NewVitamin D from real sunlight. Estimates the vitamin D you produced today from your Apple Watch's Time in Daylight, your location's solar geometry, the day's UV, and your skin profile — in real IU, not just minutes outside.
- NewSunburn guardian. Conservative, skin-type-aware burn warnings that fire when peak UV plus your time outside approaches your threshold.
- NewEvery source in one place. Log foods (USDA FoodData Central), supplements, and dietary intake, and see a projected serum level alongside today's exposure.
- NewApple Watch app & Home Screen widget. A glanceable summary of today's sunlight, vitamin D, and burn status.
- FreePrivate by design. No accounts, no analytics, no ads. Everything stays on your device — the only network call is an anonymous UV-forecast lookup.
