Wake up with the sun.

Your phone's screen becomes a sunrise twenty minutes before your alarm. Then birdsong, a gentle alarm, and your morning.

Tap once, and the morning unfolds.

The sun finishes rising. Then come the weather, your notes for the day, and a short news recap read aloud.

The wake-up screen at 7:00: a pale morning sky over two hills, Good morning, and a Snooze button.
SunriseFrom the lowest brightness to full, as the sky turns from night to morning.
The weather after the alarm: 14 degrees and partly cloudy in Villeurbanne, then the rest of the day hour by hour.
WeatherWhere you are, hour by hour, saved on the phone for mornings offline.
Today's important notes: a dentist appointment, a lease to bring, a call to return.
NotesWhat you wrote for today: every day, some days, or just once.
The morning news: headlines and short summaries, the story being read marked with a small sun.
NewsUp to three topics, the most important stories first, in about a minute.

Birdsong first. An alarm only if you need it.

Sounds rise from silence with the light, on your phone's alarm volume. Each one has its own page in Settings.

  1. 10 min before
    Birdsong
    Rises from silence to a soft level by your wake-up time.
  2. 2 min before
    The river
    Joins the birds, just as quietly.
  3. At wake-up
    A gentle alarm
    Clearly audible, growing over five minutes while the birds and the river fade.
  4. 5 min later
    A second ring
    Your phone's own alarm sound, with vibration, if you still haven't tapped.
Birdsong's page in Settings: when it starts, its volume, a sample to listen to, and whether it rises from silence.
Bedtime

And a sunset to fall asleep.

Start it from the top of the home screen. A red sun sinks behind the hills while your screen dims to black, then the phone sleeps.

Small things that make mornings easier.

Weather, even offline

A forecast is always kept on your phone, so airplane mode still gets you the day ahead.

Today's weather in the app, with the temperature, the conditions and the hours ahead.

Notes for the morning

The dentist, the bins, the call to return. Choose the days each note shows on, or show it once.

Snooze, once the sun is up

Ten quiet minutes, counted down in a notification, then the alarm again.

Skip one morning

Dismiss tomorrow's ring without touching the rest of the week.

Your sunrise, your length

From 10 to 60 minutes, five at a time. The sunset too.

20 min

The sun starts rising at 6:40 AM for a 7:00 AM wake-up.

Your mornings stay on your phone.
