dminder uses real-time satellite ozone data, forward-integrated erythemal dose calculations, and peer-reviewed algorithms. The science is never gated. Pro removes the ads and keeps your whole history.
No degraded results. No approximate formulas. The free version uses the same satellite data and algorithms as Pro.
NOAA satellite data refreshed throughout the day. Not estimates.
Forward-integrates along the sun's trajectory. Morning sessions burn differently than afternoon.
Personalized burn time based on skin type, medications, UV index, and solar angle.
Continuously estimates your blood level from sun, supplements, and lab results.
Pro is how you support D-Minder. It removes the ads and keeps your whole record. Everything else, including the projection, lab results, digests and export, is in the free app.
The free app shows a banner, and after your first 5 sessions an ad roughly every third session. Pro removes them all.
The free app's History shows the last 90 days. Pro shows every session and dose back to the day you started. Older entries are never deleted on the free app, only hidden.
An encrypted backup of your data, protected by your PIN, so you can restore it on a new phone. On Android, Pro also syncs your data to the cloud.
Prices in US dollars. The App Store or Google Play shows the price in your currency.

dminder calculates vitamin D production using real-time NOAA satellite ozone measurements, solar position algorithms, erythemal dose integration, and personalized burn models developed with Dr. Michael Holick. Nobody gets wrong numbers because they didn't pay. Safety is not a premium feature. Every user gets the same accurate calculations. Period.
Users occasionally ask us this directly — so here’s the honest answer. D-Minder is a small team (not a VC-funded startup), and the app has two income streams:
A single banner at the bottom of the app, plus an occasional interstitial ad between sessions. Standard Google AdMob inventory, not tracking-based advertising by default.
Ads are what let us keep the core app free for everyone — the calculations, the safety warnings, the 90-day history, all of it. If you’d rather not see ads, Pro removes them (see below).
One-time or annual purchase that removes the ads, shows your whole history and turns on encrypted backup. The projection, lab results and export stay free.
Bought inside the app, in Settings.
