Hey Product Hunt 👋
Why: Each skin is different and people should know their tannin and uv exposure limit.
What it does: Shade turns the UV index into one number you can act on: how many minutes until you’re likely to burn.
☀️ Live and hourly UV for where you are, from Apple Weather
🧴 Your skin and sunscreen: pick your Fitzpatrick skin type once, then tell Shade if you’re bare, wearing SPF or covered up
⏱️ Tan on a timer: start a session and Shade counts down to your burn time, with reminders to turn over and reapply
⌚ Lock Screen and Apple Watch: a Live Activity keeps the countdown visible without opening the app
What I cared about:
No account and no sign-up.
Your skin type and sessions never leave your phone.
It’s available in 10 languages.
A caveat: burn times are estimates based on WHO UV guidance, not medical advice. Shade is a tool to help you stop guessing.
I’d love your feedback, especially:
Does the burn time feel right for your skin?
What would make you open it every sunny day?
