24 alternatives to Daylight Goals
Hey HN, I've just released an update to my iPhone/Apple Watch app Daylight Goals which includes a new feature - your Daylight Recap for 2025. If you've been wearing an Apple Watch for the past year it has been recording your time spent outdoors (So long as the screen is mostly uncovered.) My app charts and graphs it, along with giving you daily goal updates to make sure you get your 20 mintues of sunlight per day. The recap feature is free, you just need to close out the paywall during onboarding.
Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes.

I kept trying to explain how important outdoor light is and how most people aren’t getting enough. Eventually I figured that showing is more effective than telling. So we built a free app that uses your Apple Watch or iPhone to automatically track your light exposure throughout the day. It tells you if you’re getting enough, shows you how consistent you are, and rewards habits that support hormone balance. It's in beta on TestFlight, let me know what you think!

Hey HN, I'm a solo developer and I built Steps: Workout & Pedometer, an iOS pedometer and workout tracker. Last week, two German iOS publications wrote about the app. I didn't pitch them. I didn't send a press release. I didn't even know it was happening. I woke up to a spike in downloads, checked the analytics, and traced it back to their articles. That coverage pushed the app past $1,000 in sales. I still have no idea how they found the app. I'm wondering if anyone here has experience getting featured in publications, whether organically or through outreach. What worked for you? Any tips…

Mood▲97Hey HN, I've had this idea stuck in my head ever since I published Year in Pixels [1]. I've been adding a little thing here and there to this app, and now it feels nice enough to share. It's very interesting what daily tracking does to one's mind. While I already have apps to track everything else like sleep, heart rate, etc., I was still missing something to track my mood. The simple act of thinking about how you feel a couple of times a day already changes things. A moment of reflection. I opted to add Astrology, Checks (habits), and other goodies. Hope you like it as much as I do. Best,…
