Glowie is more than just a Mac application. It's a personal UV index monitor that lives in the menu bar, giving information in real-time whether it's safe to soak up some rays or better to stay in the shade.

<aside> ❗ The hidden risk
</aside>
In the remote work era, the freedom to work in natural light brings an unseen hazard: high UV exposure leading to sunburn. This often-overlooked risk affects many who work outdoors or near sunlit windows.
<aside> 💡 Inspiration behind Glowie
</aside>
The idea for Glowie emerged from an iOS engineer's personal experience with unexpected sunburn during remote work. Recognising this could be a widespread issue, we teamed up to develop a solution.

Motivated by this insight, we created Glowie – an app that helps remote workers monitor sun exposure, balancing the freedom of outdoor work with sun safety.
