How it works

A gentler way to wake up

Instead of a jarring alarm, your light gradually ramps up—helping your brain transition into wakefulness before the moment you “have to” get up.

Set your wake time

Choose when you want to wake up. The clock calculates the sunrise ramp automatically.

Sunrise starts before your alarm

Light increases gradually, mimicking dawn so your body eases out of deep sleep.

Wake up calmer & clearer

By the time you open your eyes, you're already closer to fully awake—less shock, less snooze.

Why it works

A gentler cue than noise.

Traditional alarms rely on startle. A sunrise cue works with your body—light rises gradually so waking feels calmer, not forced.
