UV bands TanPilot turns into action

Each UV band becomes a tan-window, SPF, shade, or stop cue instead of a bare weather number.

0-2 Low
Usually lower risk for the average adult, with extra care still useful around reflection, altitude, or very sun-sensitive skin.
3-5 Moderate
Protection starts to matter. WHO recommends sun protection when the UV Index is 3 or higher.
6-7 High
Plan shorter exposure windows, avoid the daily peak, and use shade, clothing, sunglasses, and broad-spectrum sunscreen.
8-10 Very high
Burn risk can rise quickly, especially near midday. Treat tanning time as a short, monitored exposure.
11+ Extreme
Extra protection is needed. TanPilot should nudge toward shade-first planning rather than longer exposure.

Questions

Direct answers before the install CTA.

What is TanPilot?

TanPilot helps you turn today's UV into a tan plan: the best window, SPF timing, stop cues, and saved routines in the app.

Does TanPilot encourage unsafe tanning?

TanPilot is built for cautious tanning. It keeps the tan goal visible, then adds UV, SPF, skin type, and stop reminders so you are not guessing outside.

Can I use TanPilot without installing the app?

Yes. The website pages answer UV, tanning timing, burn-time, and skin-type questions; the app adds saved routines, timers, and reminders.
