NEW D-Minder 10.0 — Complete rewrite with AI-powered lab analysis, erythemal dose protection, and more

42% of Americans are Vitamin D deficient

Studies link deficiency to diabetes, heart disease, depression, and increased cancer risk.

Know Your D Window

dminder calculates exactly when UVB is available at your location. Plan sessions by choosing a vitamin D target or a time limit — the app handles the rest.

Uses real-time solar position, atmospheric ozone from NOAA satellites, and your skin type to estimate production rates.

Smart Timer

Track your session in real time. The timer shows vitamin D earned, elapsed time, and warns you before you burn. Works on your lock screen and Apple Watch too.

Minute-by-minute erythemal dose integration means accuracy even as the sun moves across the sky.

Track Your D Level

dminder continuously estimates your blood vitamin D level based on sun sessions, supplements, and food. Analog gauges show your daily progress and current status at a glance.

Enter lab results to calibrate. The projection engine forecasts where your level is headed over the next 90 days.

Complete Vitamin D Ledger

Log sun sessions, supplements, food sources, and imported outdoor workouts in one place. See your full vitamin D history and understand exactly where your intake comes from.

Indoor UV Lamp Sessions

No sun? No problem. D-Minder tracks vitamin D from UV lamps too. Configure your lamp's UV output once, then track sessions just like outdoor sun exposure.

Currently supports Sperti Fiji Sun and Mitolux Red Light lamps, with more coming.

Real Satellite Ozone Data

Atmospheric ozone is the biggest variable in UV intensity — and most apps ignore it. D-Minder downloads a live 360x180 ozone grid from NOAA's OMPS satellite instruments, updated multiple times daily.

The difference between 250 and 350 Dobson Units of ozone can change your vitamin D production by 40%. We don't guess — we measure.

Patented Science

D-Minder's vitamin D engine is built on peer-reviewed science and protected by U.S. Patent 9,008,389.

  • Real-time NOAA satellite ozone data for accurate UV estimation
  • Solar position algorithms calculating elevation, azimuth, and atmospheric path length
  • Erythemal dose integration — minute-by-minute UV accumulation, not just averages
  • Fitzpatrick skin type modeling for personalized burn and synthesis rates
  • Body composition factors: age, BMI, and weight affect vitamin D metabolism

The entire calculation engine is written in Rust and shared across iOS and Android — identical science on every platform.

Camera-Guided Burn Protection

When you approach your predicted burn time, the app prompts you to check your skin. For lighter skin types, the camera detects redness before you can see it. For darker skin (Type V/VI), a sensation-based check asks about warmth and tenderness — because melanin masks visible redness but can't mask how your skin feels. Future versions will use CIELAB color space analysis to detect inflammation even in the darkest skin tones.

Wear OS
