## Description

**Sola** is a science-based UV index and sun exposure tracker designed to help you enjoy sunlight more safely. Track accumulated UV dose and estimated vitamin D production using current UV forecasts, skin type, existing tan, sunscreen SPF, past exposure, and whether you’ve turned during a session.

With Apple Watch auto-tracking, Apple Health integration, widgets, and Live Activities, Sola makes sun exposure easy to monitor. Get reminders to reapply sunscreen, seek shade, flip for an even tan, or respond to changing UV levels. High-contrast themes keep the app readable outdoors, while safe sun time and Time in Daylight stats help you make more informed decisions. Sola provides informational estimates and is not medical advice.
