Suntan Workout times sunbathing to the live UV index and your skin type, splits the safe dose across 5 positions and tells you out loud when to turn over. Apple Watch taps, a 12-step ladder that steps back if you got pink, zero ad trackers. Sessions 1–4 free.
Hi Product Hunt! 👋
Suntan Workout was my very first iOS app. I built it 8 years ago, and for a long time it stayed a small side project. Recently I picked it back up with AI-assisted development workflows, which let me ship in weeks what used to take me months as a solo developer. So this launch is really the app I always wanted it to be.
The problem: you can’t feel UV, only heat. At UV 8, fair skin can burn in under 20 minutes on a cool, breezy day, and you only find out that evening.
How it works: the app pulls the live UV index for your location, works out a safe dose for your skin type, and starts you at 20% of your burn threshold. It splits that time across front, back and both sides, and a voice cue or Apple Watch tap tells you when to turn over, so your phone can stay in your bag. If your skin turns pink after a session, it steps you back instead of pushing you on. No ad trackers, no analytics SDKs, and sessions 1–4 are free.
I need your feedback to make it better. I’d especially love to hear:
Does the session flow make sense the first time you open it?
If you have darker skin, or live somewhere with very high UV, do the timings feel right?
What would make you open it before every beach day?
Every comment gets a reply from me. Thank you for checking it out! ☀️
