Skin analysis is the start, not the whole app

Sunkind estimates your Fitzpatrick skin type from a quick quiz or an optional AI skin scan — then actually uses it: every tan window, session length, and reminder is tuned to your skin.

Analysis is only useful if it changes what you do next. Sunkind turns it into a daily plan.

The full tan toolkit

Accurate UV from Apple WeatherKit with hourly and 10-day forecasts. A silent, haptic tan timer with a Lock Screen Live Activity. A vacation countdown that paces your sessions to your trip. A progress journal to watch your glow build.

Sun sessions log to Apple Health as a workout, and pricing is shown plainly.

Kind to your skin, by design

Sunkind's burn-risk math adapts to your type, the live UV, your SPF, and the weather, so it's always nudging you toward a tan and away from a burn.
