Show HN: Optimize circadian rhythms by using iPhone as a light meter

Sat, 08/01/2026 - 6:42pm

After suffering one too many times from bad jet lag, I read a bunch of circadian rhythm papers and developed a simple app to help fight jet lag. I knew that avoiding devices at night was helpful, but it turns out that getting the right light at specific times of day can help not just with jet lag but overall sleep and well being.

How it works: you give the app your sleep goal, and then it coaches you by estimating current melanopic light exposure from the iPhone's camera. I validated this against an $1800 lab-grade light meter and was surprised to find it is absolutely close enough for these purposes. (Note: I'm NOT a physicist or circadian rhythm researcher, so I'm grateful for any feedback.)

If you feel like your sleep schedule could be more dependable or if you suffer from jet lag, you might enjoy this app!
