Apple Watch required

The simplest Apple Watch daylight tracker.

Apple Watch records your Time in Daylight. Sun Light turns it into a friendly daily ring, a streak, and a 7-day history. That's it.

Why daylight

A few minutes outside, every day.

Time spent in natural daylight is one of the simplest, free things you can do for your body. Sun Light just makes it easier to notice whether you actually do it.

Mood and energy

Natural light helps your body produce serotonin, supporting steady mood and afternoon energy.

🌙

Better sleep

Daylight in the morning helps regulate your circadian rhythm, so you sleep deeper at night.

🧠

Vitamin D

Time outside supports natural Vitamin D for stronger bones and a healthier immune system.

👀

Eye health

Outdoor time is one of the most studied factors in long-term eye health, especially for kids.

How it works

Three steps. That's the whole app.

1

Wear your Apple Watch

Apple Watch automatically records Time in Daylight in the background. No timer to start, no button to press.

2

Go outside

Walk the dog, sit on the porch, eat lunch in the sun. Your watch is doing the counting.

3

Watch your ring fill

Open Sun Light to see today's ring, your streak, and where your daylight came from across the day.

On iPhone

Three tabs. No clutter.

Today, History, Settings. No score, no plan, no homework. Just your daylight.
