Looks cool!

A couple questions:

(1) Are you supposed to join the waitlist to use this ("Get Early Access"), or can you just start using via TestFlight ("Download Today")? I see two different links on this page.

(2) How does this app measure the amount of light received by the Apple Watch? Does the Watch have such sensors and expose such APIs?

Thanks (1) You can join the waitlist for our hormone tracking device, the app is available for download today on TestFlight. Eventually the app will be used to show you the connection to your hormone balance (like cortisol etc.) and your light exposure. They are very tightly linked! (2) there is a light sensor in the display of the Apple Watch that automatically tracks it. It works ~80% of the time, but struggles if you have a big jacket

Most people have their phone in a pocket or purse or similar while outdoors. Wouldn't this require the phone to be out and exposed to light in order to work correctly? So not only are you trying to get people to change habits of getting outside, you're also requiring they change habits with the devices as well. Good luck with that, and I mean that with more sincerity than snark but not no snark.
