FAQ
Does TanMeter auto-detect when I am in the sun?

Can I export my sun session history?
Export CSV or PDF reports from TanMeter to share with a dermatologist during skin check appointments.
What is a safe weekly sun exposure total?
TanMeter flags weeks where cumulative unprotected exposure exceeds your skin type's safe threshold based on WHO guidelines.
