The vitamin D companion that lives on your phone.

SolGlow turns Apple Watch's Time in Daylight, your location, and your skin type into a real estimate of the vitamin D you produced today — supplements, food, and sun, all in one place. Nothing leaves your device but a forecast lookup.

New in 1.5 · Automatic, and you can see why

Your sun counts itself. And shows its math.

Version 1.5 is the biggest SolGlow update yet. Passive Daylight Credit quietly turns your Apple Watch's Time in Daylight into vitamin D — no logging, no GPS trail — and Show the Work lets every number open a plain-language worked example of the exact model behind it, sources named on screen. Both free.

DAYLIGHT CREDIT · AUTOMATIC +1,240 IU 38 min outside ● High confidence — Apple Watch daylight See how this was calculated 38 min × sun angle × skin type · Holick 2007, Spencer 1971

Passive Daylight Credit

Outdoor time is credited to your vitamin D automatically from your Watch — attributed and confidence-rated, so you always know how the number was made. Free.

Show the Work

Tap any figure and SolGlow re-runs the exact model behind it — your real inputs, step by step, with Holick 2007 and Spencer 1971 named on screen. No black box. Free.

Ask Siri & glance on StandBy

“Hey Siri, how much sun did I get in SolGlow?” Three read-only Siri actions, plus a free Best Sun Window widget for StandBy, the Lock Screen, and the Home Screen.

Trip Planner + jet-lag (Pro)

A research-based, day-by-day sleep-and-light schedule to shift your body clock faster, plus your destination's UV outlook. Timing guidance, not medical advice.

Burn Guardian & Session Lifeguard

A free trailing-3-day sunburn advisory that catches sun that adds up across days — and Pro rescue for sun sessions you forgot to end, saved with an honest “estimated” label.

Also in 1.5

Serum Level drill-down with a 12-week projection (Pro), a smarter Doctor Report with PDF & CSV exports, consistent custom goals everywhere — and the app now speaks Japanese, German, and Spanish.

Founders pricing continues: SolGlow Pro is a one-time $14.99 — lifetime, no subscription, Family Sharing included. Estimates are educational, not a diagnosis.

What it does

A real estimate, not a guess.

SolGlow combines what your Apple Watch already measures (Time in Daylight) with the physics of where you are and the biology of your skin — and folds in your supplements and food. It's an estimate, but a transparent one: every input is shown.

Apple Watch Time in Daylight

Reads the daylight your Watch already records. SolGlow never modifies it — it only reads.

Solar physics by latitude

Computes your sun's elevation and the local UV factor for accurate vitamin-D synthesis windows.

Fitzpatrick skin types

Skin-type-aware synthesis and burn-time calculations — Type I through VI all dialed in.

Burn-risk warnings

Forecasted UV combined with your time outside warns you before your skin's threshold is crossed.

60-day history

A calendar of your actual sun, supplement, and dietary vitamin D — with location-aware attribution for travel days.

Home Screen widget

Today's IU, sun minutes, and daily-goal progress at a glance — refreshed in the background.

Apple Watch app

Glanceable Progress, Serum, and Forecast cards on the wrist. Pulls Time in Daylight straight from watchOS.

Serum projection

Heaney/Veith dose-response converts your daily IU into projected 25(OH)D in ng/mL.

USDA food log

USDA FoodData Central built in. Salmon, eggs, fortified milk — all rolled into your daily total.

Privacy first

Your data doesn't leave your phone.

SolGlow makes exactly one network call: a UV forecast lookup to Open-Meteo with just a latitude and longitude — no name, no account, no device ID. Apple Health data, your profile, your food log, your location history — all of it stays on your iPhone in iOS app-private storage, pruned automatically after 60 days.

Better together

Your morning sun, now part of your stress picture.

SolGlow pairs with CalmTide, our cortisol & HPA-axis tracker. Install both and they share data through a secure on-device container — no servers, no accounts. SolGlow's morning-sun minutes and Cortisol Awakening Response score flow into CalmTide's weekly stress-balance score, and a new "Sun → next-day HRV" insight shows whether getting outside actually steadies your nervous system.

SolGlow gives CalmTide

Morning-sun minutes, CAR score, weekly sun average, UV & vitamin D estimate.

CalmTide gives back

Weekly HPA balance score, baseline trend, MET-minutes, hard-session count.
