What is Aura?

Plans sunscreen reapplication times using UV index forecasts, skin type, SPF, and activity, shown as a countdown timer.

It can show the countdown on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island as a Live Activity, with optional local notifications when the timer ends. The app provides estimates only and does not measure UV exposure or guarantee protection.

Description

Sun protection is personal.

Aura helps you plan sunscreen reapplication around the conditions you are actually in. It combines the current and forecast UV index with your self-reported skin type, SPF, and activity to create an easy-to-follow timer.

PLAN AROUND LIVE UV

Use your location to see current and upcoming UV conditions, or choose a UV value manually when you prefer not to share location.

MAKE THE TIMER YOURS

Choose your Fitzpatrick skin type, sunscreen SPF, and what you are doing outside. Swimming, exercise, water, and sweat can shorten the suggested interval.

FOLLOW THE TIMER ANYWHERE

Keep the countdown visible with a Live Activity on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Optional local notifications can remind you when the timer ends.

OPTIONAL TAN MODE

Aura includes a sunset-capped session timer for people who choose Tan mode. UV tanning is not risk-free, and Aura never marks exposure as safe.

BUILT FOR FOCUS

Aura does not require an account. The calm, uncluttered interface keeps the forecast, remaining time, and next action easy to find.

Aura provides estimates based on forecast data and the details you select. It does not measure UV exposure, guarantee protection, prevent sunburn, or provide medical advice. Always follow sunscreen directions and use shade, clothing, and other sun-protection measures.
