On Sunday, May 17, 2026, Apple featured NatureDose as its App of the Day on the App Store — a recognition we're grateful for, and one that puts a growing body of research in front of a much wider audience: time spent in nature is one of the most underrated levers for human health.

A substantial and expanding evidence base links regular nature exposure to lower stress, better sleep, improved mood, sharper attention, and reduced risk of cardiovascular and metabolic disease. The challenge has never been the science. It's that most of us underestimate how little time we actually spend outdoors — and we have no easy way to change that.

That's the problem NatureDose was built to solve. The app automatically measures your exposure to nature in the background, with no manual logging, so you can see your real baseline and set targets that meaningfully shift it. Our NatureScore uses location data and satellite imagery to gauge your proximity to natural elements, giving you a signal that's actually grounded in your environment, not a guess.

Apple's editorial team put it well: "Track (and extend) your time outdoors with NatureDose." That's the mission in one line. Thanks for being part of it.

Better health. Right outside.
