How it works

Bronze, not burnt — in three steps

  1. 1

    Tell us your skin

    A quick quiz (or an AI skin scan) pins your Fitzpatrick skin type — the key to how much sun you can take.

  2. 2

    Get your window

    Sunkind reads the live UV for your spot and shows exactly when to tan today, how long, and what SPF.

  3. 3

    Tan smarter

    Start a silent timer that taps you to flip, logs to Apple Health, and paces you to your tan-by date.

The proof

Day 1 to that Day 14 glow.

Same skin, no burn in between. Drag to watch the glow build — paced by the app, inside your burn-safe window.

AI skin scan

Built around your skin,
not a guess.

Snap one selfie and Sunkind reads your Fitzpatrick skin type in seconds — the number that decides how much sun you can take. Your scan photo is used only to produce the result, never stored. Prefer not to? A 20-second quiz gets you there too.

The #1 difference

Tan smarter,
not longer.

Most tanning apps blast an alarm every few minutes — at the pool, on the beach, next to everyone. Sunkind's timer is silent. A Live Activity sits on your Lock Screen, and a gentle haptic taps you when it's time to flip.

  • Silent Live Activity on your Lock Screen
  • Haptic-only flip alerts — zero alarms
  • Keeps running while your phone is locked
