The silent timer is the big one

SunSafe's most common complaint is the timer alarms that disturb everyone nearby. Sunkind's timer is silent — haptic flip alerts and a Lock Screen Live Activity, no noise.

If you tan around other people, this is the difference that matters most.

Apple Health and honest pricing

Sunkind logs your sun sessions to Apple Health as a workout. It also shows pricing transparently — Monthly $7.99, Annual $39.99, Lifetime $79.99 — with no "lifetime free" surprises.

You always know what you're getting and what it costs.

Same essentials, done kinder

Accurate UV from Apple WeatherKit, personalized routines by skin type, a vacation countdown, and a progress journal — the things you'd expect, built around being kind to your skin rather than just chasing color.
