About this app

🌄 Wake up gently – with a real sunrise light alarm instead of a harsh sound
Over 1 million people already start their mornings rested and calm — the way it should be. This alarm clock replaces the classic loud alarm with slowly increasing light and relax sounds — exactly what your body needs to wake up easily.

⭐ Help fall asleep – wake up gently
In the evening, the app dims the light like a sunset and plays gradually fading sounds such as rain sounds for sleep or wave sounds. You can use calm music for sleep or calm meditation. In the morning, gentle light lifts you out of sleep — before any sound starts.

☀️ Your morning routine at a glance
Right when you wake up, you see the local weather forecast with clothing suggestions, your personal birthday countdown — and if you like, you can start your day with a quick home workout.

🌅 Better sleep. Better wake-up. Every day.
👉 Download the free alarm clock now — and experience how good waking up can feel.

it's fine, but to get rid of ads or even have an alarm, you have to pay, lots EDIT: apparently you can have an alarm. I didn't see an option to actually have it sound off, but maybe I missed that. also, like $8 (I think) just to get rid of ads and not to get any other features is not cheap

Sorry but that is not correct. No need to pay anything in order to have an alarm. Alarm is alread preconfigured, just change the alarm time. And yes, to get rid of ads you need to pay like in all other apps but there is a single purchase possible in app menu "general" for a low price. Disable sound in "alarm setting / customize / wake up by sound"

So many great ideas, such terrible execution. I wasted $12.00 removing ads and getting access to more sound choices. But the sound function is totally unreliable. Even when the alarm is set for sound and no light, the only thing that comes on is the light, sometimes pulsing. I'm going to keep it - the place where I spend time in the summer has very little ambient light in the bedroom, so the light is useful, but I need to find something else if I really need to get up.

Hi, sorry you had trouble. Did you get my email. I need a log file with "Send Feedback" right after it happened. So I can investigate what the problem is.

Nickel and dime app. $5 to remove the ads $7 to unlock alarms $5 for alarm sounds. It's crazy and a bit of a turn off. I still use it but can't explore the features as it requires a monthly subscription. Update 11/19/24 I don't know what happened to it but the slide to turn off does not work anymore. I literally have to force close it every time to stop the alarm. Really annoying.

You can choose between one-time payment and subscription with low monthly rate. Sorry you have trouble with the slider. Make sure you hold the slider for a long time at maximum. If still problems you make a screenshot and use "Send Feedback" in the app to contact me.
